Identify the central argument of this passage

Which word carries the most negative connotation? O surprised O impressed Oshocked O amazed

jek_recluse [69]

$\huge\boxed{\textsf{Shocked}}$

First of all, let's go over the differences between connotations and denotations.

A word's denotation is a precise, literal definition of what the word means. This is something you can find in a dictionary.

A word's connotation is less precise and more emotional. It's the positive and/or negative associations a word naturally has with it. You can almost think of it as the natural tone of a word.

For example, the word "brilliant" has a more positive connotation that the word "aggressive".

Now, let's look at this specific problem. Out of the four words given, three of them have a more positive connotation. The one with a slightly negative connotation is "shocked".

This is because the word "shocked" is often associated with fearful situations in people's minds.

1. Why does the narrator lie to his daughter, and how does he justify it? Do you think she will ask him the same

julsineya [31]

1. The narrator's nine-year-old daughter, knowing that her father writes war stories, asks him if he has ever killed anyone. The narrator says no but resolves to tell her the truth when she is grown (so yes she might ask the same question when she is older.)
2. because he wants his writing to be heard.
3. because it was his thing to kill anyone he saw, so his body reacted way before he has time to think whether or not he should kill or not. I probably would’ve done the same.
4. he focuses on the deaths because those thoughts aren’t easy to go away.

What aspects of semantics did you enjoy most? Discuss it?

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Hi. This question requires a personal answer, as she wants to know what aspect of semantics you most enjoyed studying and understanding. In that case, I can't answer your question, but I can help you arrive at a correct answer.

First, it is important that you know what semantics are. Semantics is a science that studies how a communication vehicle should be interpreted and the meanings that this language provides. A communication vehicle can be a text, a song, a conversation between two people, among other things that allow a type of communication to be established. In this case, semantics studies words, textual structures, intonations, expressions and sentences within a context.

The aspects of semantics refer to everything that makes up the analyzed semantics, that is, the tone of voice of the speakers, the punctuation used in the text, the existence of figures of speech, the use of grammatical classes and even the size of the text and conversation. In this case, for you to present the aspect of the semantics that you liked the most, you should evaluate which of these aspects do you think is more important for you to analyze the meaning of a communication. You can use the paragraph below as a template for your answer.

The aspect of semantics that I like the most is the speaker's tone of voice, as it allows the listener to perceive the speaker's intention when communicating, which makes it easier for the meaning of the message to be understood. The tone of voice is an aspect that is lacking in text messages and can lead to incorrect interpretations of the meanings of the messages, since the tone of voice between speakers is omitted.

In a text, punctuation is my favorite semantic aspect, as it organizes the sentences, presents the intentions of the narrator or speaker, presents intonation and shows how the text should be read.
