Answer:

A. the use of words with the correct connotation

Explanation:

Diction can be defined as style of speaking or writing, determined by the choice of words by a speaker or a writer. Diction, or choice of words, often separates good writing from bad writing. ... Secondly, words should be appropriate to the context in which they are used.

- Morrie was a deep thinker, and asked two questions, "Shouldn't the world stop? Don't
Blababa [14]

Answer:

I think Morrie is very sad and possibly depressed because of the way he's been treated.

I don't think Morrie would get an answer soon.

Explanation:

Morrie's outburst is characterised by depressed people who have been dealt a cruel blow by life and are already disillusioned.

Morrie could be a victim of emotional, physical, or verbal abuse which has shaken him to his very core and make life seem not to hold any glitter for him anymore.

He's trying to express his pain that's why he burst out like that, wondering why the world hasn't stopped and asking if what was done to him was known by others.

He's likely not going to get any answer soon because his question is a rhetorical question (question that needs no answer) and because he's thinking aloud and not complaining to anybody nearby.
