The connotative meaning of the word “trunk” in the poem is “a container”. In the poem “<em>Verses Upon the Burning of our House</em>” by Anne Bradstreet (1666), the author expresses the traumatic <u>loss of her home and her possessions</u>. After awakening to the tragic event, she goes outside and watches her house and possessions burning down. Once the fire has been put out, she mourns for the physical items destroyed: the <em>trunk </em>and the <em>chest</em>, everything she “<em>counted best</em>”; her “<em>pleasant things</em>”.

“Jonas gives a speech, and the industry leaders change their minds”

The above statement is counted as most contrived amongst the other available statement because It is highly unlikely for industry leaders to get pacified by Jonas advocacy for minimalistic living.

These industry leaders have their core interest and stakes at the challenge and it is highly possible that they won't leave any stone unturned in defaming Jonas as fraud and scamster.
