Answer:
The answer is: letter D, need of protection or care
Explanation:
A connotative definition refers to a second meaning of the implied word, phrase or sentence. Such definition is understood according to emotion or culture.
When a person is frail, just like the "aging mother" in the situation above, the person is weak and delicate. This is the denotative meaning.

Before 1789, the U.S. had been ruled by the Articles of Confederation (1781) in fear of govt. abusing power (like British rule). In 1787, it was obvious that they needed a perfect Union and so, while protecting the independence of states, the Articles of Confederation didn't describe the powers of a federal chief executive nor a judicial system. The creation of our Constitution and present form of government was informed by these and other considerations that arose during the years of the Confederation.
