Connotation refers to the emotions words can evoke. Words can have either a positive or a negative connotation.

Words evoking fear in the audience are likely to have a negative connotation since fear is a negative feeling.  Therefore, for the writer to make the reader feel fear, they should be very specific with their word choice; particularly with adjectives they decide to use since this word category is the one that best describes emotions or actions.  From the examples in question, I believe that B is your answer.  

In this sentence, a simile has been used (like an icicle) so you can really understand how Aiden's body froze, you can make a mental image of it.  His heart not only beat rapidly, but it "pounded" which means that it striked or hit heavily and repeatedly. Aiden did not look over the railing but he "peered over" it entailing that he looked carefully or with difficulty (that verb has two meaning components with a negative connotation)

Which correctly describes a cause-and-effect relationship in this excerpt?
pochemuha

Black people in a little community on the other side of the Day Street Bridge had to walk across the bridge, about half a mile, to get to the bus. Mr. Nixon went down to the bus company to protest. He was always going down to the bus company to protest; sometimes he went by himself, sometimes he took someone with him. He himself did not ride the buses—he had his own car; but he was acting on behalf of the community. The bus company told him that as long as the people were willing to walk the half mile and then pay to ride the rest of the way downtown, they had no need to extend the bus line. Which correctly describes a cause-and-effect relationship in this excerpt?

Answer:

The answer is:

Cause: People had to walk across a bridge to catch the bus.

Effect: Mr. Nixon protested to the bus company.

Explanation:

A "cause-and-effect" relationship<u> </u><u>describes the connection between events/situations. It shows how one action/event leads to another action/event. </u>

A "cause" <u>refers to the action/event that led to another action/event.</u> This is the reason why the other action/event occurred.

An "effect"<u> refers to the action/event that happened as a result of the "cause."</u> This is the outcome of the taken action or the event that happened.

So, in the situation above. <em>Mr. Nixon protested to the bus company because the people had to walk across a bridge to catch the bus.</em> He wanted to let the bus company know on behalf of the community. He did this in order to cause a change.

Thus, this explains the answer.

Degger [83]

Although coal, hydrocarbons, iron ore, platinum, copper, chromium, nickel, gold and other minerals have been found, they have not been in large enough quantities to exploit. The 1991 Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty also restricts a struggle for resources.

Why should women not join selective services? 99 Points I give BRAINLIEST!
levacccp [35]

1. This will create a weaker military where both servicemen and servicewoman pay the price in precious blood, because women are different then men physically.

- Combat roles are already open to women, if women registered for Selective Service and a draft was in fact implemented, the number of females on the military front lines could skyrocket. This would weaken our forces and unnecessarily cost both male and female blood. Obviously men are more equipped physically than women on the battle field.

2. All positions of the military are currently open to women,

- If a women would like to serve her country in any role at all, and is capable, she can. With no restrictions on  access, mandating women to register for Selective Service would only force unwilling participants in the name of "equality."

3. Daughters, sisters and wives serving will be targeted.

-Taking a look on how women are treated would make this clear. Because, imagining what would be done to a woman who is captured is completely terrifying. To give and example look at group such as ISIS, who have cut off the heads of Christian children and captured Nigerian school girls. Women will be targeted and men will risk their lives at all costs to save women because this is America.

4. Standards will be lowered.

-Women are generally weaker than men. When huge number of women are in the military you can guess that physical standards will be lowered in the name of group justice. The same "social justice warriors" who are pushing to register for Selective Service will be there counting every promotion and measuring enrollment of women in all positions, and there counting every promotion and measuring enrollment of women in all positions, and when the same number of women aren't promoted as men in combat, the "warriors" will "fix" by implementing quotas and lowering standards.

5. A majority of women oppose a mandate for women to register for Selective Service.

- According to a Rasmussen survey, only 38% of women agreed that women should register for selective service. Two reasons: One, the report surveyed women of all ages and not women who would potentially be mandated to serve if said draft were to be implemented, Two, the survey was taken earlier this month, a time when the draft was still dormant.

6. It's morally reprehensible.

- To sum it up in one line from a man who served this country: "The moral point that a country which sends its wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters into the meat grinder of combat has preemptively surrendered a vital portion of its own humanity."

The essay that address the question on: Is technology beneficial or harmful to children and teenagers is given below

<h3>Is technology beneficial or harmful to children and teenagers </h3>

The use of technology is on that is rapidly changing, and these changes will become a part of our daily life. 95% of teenagers now report having a smartphone or access to one, according to a 2018 Pew Research Center survey. In consequence, these mobile connections are encouraging more consistent online activity: 45% of teenagers claim to be online almost constantly these days.

Nearly all American homes have some form of technology in them; 96% of people in the country have a TV, and 94% of kids between the ages of 3 and 18 have access to the internet via a computer or smartphone. 53% of kids have a smartphone by the time they are 10, according to a national poll conducted by Common Sense Media in 2019.

Teenagers' identities, self-esteem, and body image can all be impacted by social media use. It cannot be emphasized enough that people only present their best selves on social media. Sincere expression of who you are and how you feel might not result in a blog article worth reading.

Even commonplace subjects can be viewed from a particular angle to emphasize a point or crack a joke. Social media cannot possibly capture the full context of an incident, even when you attempt to be genuine: It can be challenging for parents to keep an eye on what their kids are exposed to online because of the abundance of information, including unsuitable material and contacts with strangers.

Therefore, Parents should therefore be aware of their children's technology use and any potential consequences, both good and bad.
