What is the connotative meaning of the words in bold?
Umnica [9.8K]

Hi. You did not submit the text this question refers to. This makes it impossible for your question to be answered. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question just like yours, which had the text that is attached below. Also, show the words in bold, which in the case of the text, are underlined. In that case, I hope the answer below can help you.

Answer:

Annoyance: the author is pointing out a likely reason for the "guests" to come

Explanation:

A connotative meaning refers to a subjunctive meaning, not literal and different from the real meaning of the word, but associated with the context to which it refers, within the text. In the case of the expression "casual acquaintances" presented in the text shown below, we can interpret that this expression shows a connotative meaning of annoyance, where the author shows the presence of uninvited people who did not have the requested presence.
