Through my binoculars, I viewed a group of wild animals in action. A pride of lions was sleeping when a small, yellow bus pulled

up beside them. Tourists on a safari were packed into the bus like sardines in a can. Armed with cameras, they invaded the lions' territory, hoping to capture the perfect photograph. The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke. When the lions moved away, the bus rolled after them, relentlessly stalking the pride. One of the lions turned and roared to protect the young. This was greeted with cheers and a celebratory honk of the bus horn. The curious visitors observed the lions' routine for an hour before moving on. Leaving a cloud of dust, the bus headed away, taking the wild animals off to disturb someone else's home.
Review the following line from the text:

The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke.

To create a more negative connotation, the author could have replaced the word crowd with which of the following synonyms?

Assembly

Gathering

Group

Mob

In the text:<u> Armed </u>with cameras and cell phones, they were <u>invading</u> the lions' territory in hopes of <u>capturing</u> the perfect photograph.

The connotative tone of the verbs in this text implies that the photographers were a negative presence in the wild animal’s space. The way the author describes it is in a <u>negative connotation.</u>

Using the verbs arm, invade and capture to express that the actions of this tourists were annoying the lions.

I would go with D) Mob because if its a negative connotation than mob would be the right answer because an assembly is not negative, not a gathering, and not a group because those could be BOTH positive AND negative but we want to find ONLY negative so mob because mobs are big groups of violent crazy people causing chaos.

Write a paragraph about the importance of a community work in which you want to be involved in.​
larisa86 [58]

Though, the concept of community service is not very new its importance has developed in the past few years. There are thousands of organizations all over the world that engage and hold millions of young people all through the world. People of all age groups, with a maximum number of youth are involved in the process of community service. Community-based organizations include; social service organizations, non-profit providers and associations that engage both young people as well adults as volunteers. The process is beneficial both for the individuals as well as the society. Without community service people would not know the meaning of charity and giving back. Community service can be defined as a service that is performed for the benefit of the public. Community service is not a responsibly or an obligation; it is a commitment. A person must want to do it with good intentions and not because they are being forced to do so. Basically, community service is a way for a person to give back to a community in which they live.
