Which answer choice best describes the connotation of dispatched?

The correct answer is, it contains a neutral connotation.

When you look at this word in a dictionary, you will find in its first meanings something neutral, for example to send with speed, to dispose, but in one of its meanings it also conveys to kill with quick efficiency. Let us put some context to vary the connotation of the word dispatch, “he dispatched his employee to go to a meeting” in this sentence, it has a neutral connotation. “He dispatched the thief with a single shot” in this sentence, it has a negative connotation.
