Read the last two sentences that end the passage: "That man touch a hundred? He looks as if he was dead and in hell now!" What i
s the connotation of the phrase "looks as if he was dead and in hell now?" A) He is an apparition or a ghost.
B) He will go to hell from his many sins.
C) He looks horrendous from living a hard life.
D) He looks like he'll be a handsome 100-year old.
If someone were to go to hell, it would be hard for them to survive and they would look tired and tortured, from being in hell. So it would make the most sense that if a person described a person as someone who "looks as if he was dead and in hell now," that that person would look horrendous from living a hard life.
Hope you get this question correct. Have a great day! :)
