Answer:

The answer is indeed letter c. It contains a negative connotation because when something is contaminated, it contains a harmful substance.

Explanation:

To contaminate means to make something impure by exposing it to (or adding to it) a polluting substance. In other words, if something is contaminated, it is now polluted and has harmful effects. In the sentence we are studying here, the author is talking about the laws that regulate the dumping of waste. If done wrong, it can pollute drinking water supplies, making such water improper for human consumption due to its harmful effects. Thus, "contaminated" has a negative connotation, related to the existence of a harmful substance.

According to Woolf, what time period fails to trace the historical significance of women?
mote1985 [20]

Answer: C. Elizabethan

Woolf discusses this topic in her work<em> "A Room of One's Own."</em> In this text, she reflects on the role of women in literature over the past centuries. She realizes that women have been limited and neglected, even those with enormous potential and intelligence, because of gender roles. She reflects on the Elizabethan period. She argues that even if a brilliant woman (as brilliant as Shakespeare) would have existed, she would have lacked the means and the platform to become famous, and is most likely forgotten by history.
