The sentence with the most negative connotation
follows: B.) After an exhausting
journey, we stumbled into a loud, hectic city.
When looking for the tone/mood of text, you’ll want to be
aware of verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.
Words that convey negativity don’t necessarily need to be negative words
such as “no,” “don’t,” or “bad,” for instance.
They can be, too, words that can be attributed to negative things. For instance, the idea of being so exhausted
that one stumbles (instead of walks, for instance) somewhere provides the image
of one who is tired and disheveled or not physically coordinated enough that he
or she is not able to walk normally without tripping over things. Further, “hectic” is a less than positive way
to communicate “busy” or “bustling” because it indicates the state of being
annoyed or agitated by the state of something.
