Answer:

An author might choose to use words with a neutral connotation instead of words with a positive or negative connotation for the following reason:

The author does not want to sound biased.

Explanation:

There is a clear purpose for an author to choose to use words with a neutral connotation: he or she does not want anyone to think they are taking sides. They want to be impartial, that is, unprejudiced and with no display of bias. The story, article or whatever kind of writing the author engages on is then presented in a neutral manner, which allows readers to form their own opinions in a much more natural and spontaneous way, rather than being, even subtly, influenced by the author's personal points of view, which become more apparent when words with a positive or a negative connotation are used instead of words with neutral connotation.

An opinion most suitable to answer the question:

It might or may be early in the story and the author may not want the reader to form an opinion yet or perhaps the author is describing a minor detail and does not want to draw extra attention to it that could detract from something more important happening in the story.

Read the passage. Then answer the question that follows.
Leni [432]

Answer:

The answer is indeed letter A. Antony calls the assassins "honourable men” but subtly turns the crowd against them.

Explanation:

At this point of Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar", Caesar has been betrayed and killed by his men. Mark Antony, who was loyal to Caesar, now pretends to be loyal to Brutus and Cassius, Caesar's assassins, to save his own life. However, at the funeral, he wittily shows the crowd that Brutus and Cassius are not good men. Even though he calls them "honourable", he does so ironically. The Roman people loved Caesar and very well knew his qualities. By emphasizing the fact that Brutus is trying to find some flaw to blame on Caesar, Antony shows the crowd that Brutus is against Caesar and should not be trusted. He then makes it clear that it is not just Brutus since "so are they all, all honourable men". Antony smartly conveys the very opposite of what his words are saying.
