When you think about Thanksgiving cooking, typically you think of a rush to get everything done and to put all of the food onto the table so that everyone can eat. There is a tone of rushing and impatience being conveyed. Therefore, I would say that 4 is the most suitable answer. General Barker is clearly in a hurry and is under some stress. I hope this helps.

4)General Barker was in a hurry to get everything ready for the experiment.

The connotative meaning the secondary meaning of a sentence or word. In the original sentence, General Barker is not actually making Thanksgiving dinner for twenty people. However, he is undertaking a task just as difficult. Traditionally a Thanksgiving dinner has many dishes and requires a lot of time, preparation, and elements. This comparison is meant to show how General Barker's experiment has a lot of different elements and things that need to be ready at precisely the right time, so he is hurrying about to make sure everything is ready.

frutty [35]
In Anne Frank - The Diary Of A Young Girl

Anne told Peter that he has an inferiority complex. She wrote this on her diary dated Wednesday, February 16, 1944.

Her diary entry reads: 

"After I'd explained some French to him, we began to talk. He told me that after the war he wanted to go to the Dutch East Indies and live on a rubber plantation. He talked about his life at home, the black market and how he felt like a worthless bum. I told him he had a big inferiority complex."

"Peter has a huge inferiority complex. For example, he always thinks he's so stupid and we're so smart. When I help him with French, he thanks me a thousand times. One of these days I'm going to say, "Oh, cut it out! You're much better at English and geography!" "

Which sentence contains an infinitive or infinitive phrase?
Vikki [24]
C is the correct answer because it is the only sentence where there is an infinitive present, in this case that is 'to finish'. The other sentences do not contain an infinitive: 'starting' is a participle, 'am turning' is present continuous, 'is' is present simple, 'weren't going' is past continuous', and 'save' is imperative.
