Actually, [b]parentheses[/b] add additional information, and they can be ignored. Probably
I would probably say plump.
Essentially, in this question, you're looking for the word that would be the least insulting. More broadly, when asked about positive connotation, you're looking for a word that is not viewed negatively.
Words like fat and cheap have negative connotations, especially when applied to people. Words like plump and frugal are much more positive.
The answer It’s either A or B the rest DONT add up
Even though I haven't read the story, based on textual clues in these sentences I would say the correct answer is <span>B. “The waiting man pulled out a handsome watch, the lids of it set with small diamonds.”
The reason why is that you can't really have a watch lined with diamonds unless you've worked really hard to get it. This man has hustled his whole life and in the end, he has done well for himself in life, which is evident by his expensive watch. </span><span>
