C. Authoritative

D. Legislative

Explanation:

The connotations are as above

Answer 2

Answer: I would contend that the right options are official and authoritative.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that, in this context, representative denotes authority, since a representative is someone that has been delegated authority and responsibility to perform an action, like Mr. Lindner, who represents the Clybourne Park Improvement Association Likewise, official is also a connotation associated with the word, since, as representative, Mr. Lindner has the legal authority to speak and act on behalf of an organization, hence the professionalism and the seriousness with which he addresses Walter - which impels him to even reject his invitation to drink.
