Question

Which statement best describes how the connotation of the word pushy

Answer 1

Answer:

A. The connotation suggests that the narrator is annoyed by  indicating that the counselor is being too aggressive in her  questioning.

Explanation:

There are two types of meaning a word possesses:

• Denotation - explicit or literal meaning;
• Connotation - an emotional or cultural association that a word carries.

When someone is pushy, they are constantly trying to get something or to make someone do something. Such behavior often makes other people annoyed. So, the narrator is also annoyed, which is confirmed by the second sentence: I didn't realize that  thinking about my future could be such a chore.

Thus, the correct option is A.
