1. NOUN A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, idea, or quality. Examples: John, Mary, boy, girl, children; Pasadena, CEC; classrooms, notebooks; freedom, intelligence; hope, anger, joy
2. PRONOUN A pronoun is usually a substitute for a noun. The noun is called the "antecedent" (but an indefinite pronoun has no antecedent).
Examples: a. Personal pronouns: I, mine, me; you, yours; he, his, him; she, hers, her; it, its; we, ours, us; they, theirs, them. b. Interrogative pronouns: who, whose, whom, which, what c. Relative pronouns (include): who, who, whose, which, that; whoever, whomever, whichever d. Demonstrative pronouns: this, that, these, those e. Indefinite pronouns (include): all, another, any, anybody, anyone, anything, both, each, either, everybody, everyone, everything, many, neither, nobody, no one, none, one, others, some, somebody, someone, such f. Intensive or reflexive pronouns: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, themselves
3. Verb A verb expresses an action or a condition (a state of being). Examples: Robert will eat the hamburger. (action) Sara is happy. (condition or state of being) Robert won’t eat the hamburger. Sara isn’t happy. Will Robert eat the hamburger? Is Sara happy?
4. ADverb An adverb describes a verb, adjective, or other adverb. Adverbs usually tell how (for example: slowly), when (e.g., lately), where (e.g., there), how much (e.g., very), or why (e.g., therefore). Example: He always chews his gum loudly.
5. Adjective An adjective describes or limits a noun. Examples: tall, young, pretty, light, blue, new, white (The tall, young, pretty girl is wearing a light blue dress with her new white shoes.) (NOT: ...a light dress blue with her new shoes white.)
Adjectives and adverbs have three degrees of comparison: positive, comparative, superlative. Examples: Mary has a smart child. Sara has a smarter child. Nancy has the smartest child. Robert is an intelligent student. William is more intelligent than Robert. Kim is the most intelligent student. The red car is expensive. The white car is less expensive. The blue car is the least expensive. I’m a good painter. She’s a better painter. He’s the best painter. I’m a bad singer. She’s a worse singer. He’s the worst singer.
6. PREPOSITION A preposition usually shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another part of a sentence. There are many prepositions, including: about, above, across, after, against, along, among, around, as, at, before, behind, below, beneath, between, beyond, beside, besides, by, down, during, except, from, for, in, inside, into, like, near, next, of, off, on, out, out of, outside, over, past, round, since, than, through, till, to, toward, towards, under, underneath, unless, until, upon, up, with, within, without. Examples: My pencil is under my desk by my foot. Martha drove from LA to NY.
7. CONJUNCTION A conjunction connects words, phrases, and clauses. Coordinate conjunctions connect words, phrases, and clauses of equal value: and, or, nor, but (and sometimes for). e.g., The dog and the cat are hungry. Correlative conjunctions occur in pairs: both-and, either-or, neither-nor, not only-but also. e.g., Both the fish and the snake are thirsty. Subordinate conjunctions connect unequal clauses (dependent clauses with independent clauses). They include: after, although, as, because, before, if, since, than, though, unless, until, when, where, while. e.g., After they ate, they had dessert.
8. INTERJECTION An interjection is a word that expresses feeling or emotion; usually it is followed by an exclamation mark. Examples: Oh! Ah! Wow! Darn! Gosh! Golly! Gee! Ow! Ouch! Yikes! Holy moly! Yippee! Hooray! Boo! Whew!
C) One passage provides objective economic data about the river while the others tell the story of two boys adventuring on its waters.
Explanation:
I believe the answer is C because the first passage provides factual information about the Mississippi River while the other simply uses the river as the story's setting.
Connotative meanings are identified through words that do not have real meanings, but subjective meanings and are different from those found in the dictionary.
We can come up with this answer because:
Connotative meaning refers to an adapted meaning that refers to figurative language.
This is because words with connotative meanings have a different meaning from the real meaning, which is shown in the dictionary.
The use of words with connotative meaning is made to deepen and highlight specific points in the text, being able to promote messages and highlight the theme, tone, among others.
You have not provided the text this question refers to, which prevents me from providing a specific answer, but I hope the above information will help you.
