What is the connotation of the word *common* as it is used in the excerpt from “The Necklace”?

The word *common* can be pejoratively used to mean 'rude and unpolished in looks, manners, or speech'. It can probably be replaced with the word <em>vulgar</em> in this excerpt. Accordingly, the connotation of the word *common* as it is used in  “The Necklace” would be B. Unrefined.

Answer:

B. Unrefined

Explanation:

Are you sure your quote is correct?

The copy of the story I found has the following version of the excerpt:

"The other, astonished to be familiarly addressed by this plain  good-wife, did not recognize her at all, and stammered:  

"But—madame!—I do not know—You must have mistaken.""

Of the three answer choices, the second one, in my opinion, works best.

A little earlier in the story, we read this about Mathilde:

"Mme. Loisel looked old now. She had become the woman of  impoverished households—strong and hard and rough. With  frowsy hair, skirts askew, and red hands, she talked loud while  washing the floor with great swishes of water."

Unrefined (i.e. uncultured, not characterized by good taste or manners) would definitely be a good word to describe Mathilde Loisel.

How do u manage ur Screen Time? Have u changed ur Screen time habits during online Class? Give some examples. Write 50-100 words
ZanzabumX [31]
I manage my screen time by creating new habits and distracting myself from using my cellphone so much. I try working on homework or listening to music, going on runs to the park and helping my mom tiding up the house. Since online classes started my screen time has gone down, I believe it’s because I’ve been paying attention in class and focusing on my school work rather than my phone and social media.

How does the section "Legacy" and the
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Greek culture spread throughout the non-Greek world.

Explanation: The Hellenistic period in history began with the conquests of Alexander the Great and was a time of military and political domination of the Greek Macedonians in the Mediterranean and the Middle and Middle East. The political dominance of Macedonians over other nations from Egypt and Syria all the way to India will be accompanied by Greek or Hellenic cultural influence. They would gradually make their place on the world stage before the Roman and conquests at the beginning of the 1st century BC.

The Hellenistic period is a time of connecting and pervading different cultures and religions of East and West, followed by the suppression of religious intolerance and national or tribal divisions. Numerous population migrations followed, the creation of new cities and states, and the gradual relocation of cultural centers from Greece and Mesopotamia to Syria and the eastern shores of the Mediterranean, especially in newly built or rebuilt cities.
