I would say that the writer is using either personification or metaphor. However, I find B. personification to be the most logical answer.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The writer has just mentioned, that the consequences of texting in a car can be worse. Naturally, the next thing that would come next in this argument is that the writer would define what consequences he means, which is why C is the correct answer.
The answer B is correct. By google's definition, connotation is 'an idea or feeling that a word invokes in addition to its literal or primary meaning.'
A would not work because you can't depict someone's 'connotation'
Option D, thats the answer, hope it helps
