A) restored

B) struggled

C) succeeded

D) maintained

Answer: B) Struggled.

It is the antonym of connotation which is the meaning given by the context of the word or even by the readers, based on their emotions or personal experiences. In the given sentence, the denotation of the word "floundered" is "struggled", "Mariah's voice shook and her hands fluttered as she struggled helplessly to answer the difficult questions Steven was asking her."

1. What happens when the woman lifts her veil? What does this signify?
Dvinal [7]

1. In Carlos Solórzano's 'Crossroads: A Sad Vaudeville', the woman is scared to lift her veil because she has tricked a man into believing that it is a far younger version of herself who he is coming to meet. When she eventually lifts her veil, the man refuses to believe it could be the same woman.

(edit)

2. The voice the man thinks he will recognize is the one he truly loves. It indicates that the man doesn't really care for the woman he is waiting for.
