The correct answer is C. The smell of fish filled the place

Explanation:

In language, the connotation refers to the ideas, images, thoughts about a word that are created by speaker and different from the denotative or dictionary meaning. Because of this, words that are synonyms in dictionaries might have a different connotation, which means words can have a negative, neutral or positive connotation.

In the case of the sentences presented all of them include a word that refers to the odor of fish; however, in the case of stench, reek and malodor all this imply a disgusting smell and therefore have a negative connotation. Bur in the case of "The smell of fish filled the place" the word "smell" is mainly neutral as it does not imply the smell was pleasant or unpleasant but just that the fish had an odor.

Connotation is a commonly understood cultural or emotional association that some word or phrase carries, in addition to its explicit or literal meaning, which is its denotation.

A connotation is frequently described as either positive or negative, with regard to its pleasing or displeasing emotional connection. For example, a stubborn person may be described as being either strong-willed or pig-headed; although these have the same literal meaning (stubborn), strong-willed connotes admiration for the level of someone's will (a positive connotation), while pig-headedconnotes frustration in dealing with someone (a negative connotation).

The correlation between the temperature outside and the amount of clothing a person wears is usually negative.
My name is Ann [436]

<span>The answer is: True</span>

 

A negative correlation shows a relationship between two objects or variables wherein one of them decreases as the other increases, or vice versa. So when the temperature increases, it means it is hot. The amount of clothing a person wears as the temperature rises will decrease.

In Angela’s ashes which sentence in the excerpts does the author most likely use to express humor
ss7ja [257]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

In Angela’s Ashes, which sentence in the excerpt does the author most likely use to express humor? Question options:

a) “‘Do you want to know why I’m in the Fever Hospital?’”

b) “‘Especially you, Francis, after thousands of boys prayed for you at the Confraternity.’”

c) “Diphtheria is never allowed to talk to typhoid and visa versa.”

d) “She tells me I better not get the notion she’ll be running up to this part of the world every time I have a little pain or a twinge.”

Answer:

I believe the best option to be letter c) “Diphtheria is never allowed to talk to typhoid and visa versa.”

Explanation:

Irish author Frank McCourt has filled his memoir "Angela's Ashes" with humor and anecdotes of his childhood. In chapter VIII, Frank is hospitalized.  He is constantly trying to communicate with Patricia, another hospitalized kid who has books with poems that delight Frank. When he is about to find out what happened to the Highwayman and his lover, the nurse comes in and yells, "I told ye there was to be no talking between rooms. <u>Diphtheria is never allowed to talk to typhoid and visa versa." This line is quite humorous for the way it addresses people and diseases. It's as if Frank and Patricia are no longer people, as if they have become the diseases they have. However, diseases don't talk; it is the sick people who do.</u>

What is the author's purpose for including the allusion to W.E.B. DuBois' short story "Of the Coming of John" from The Souls of
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The author's purpose is to highlight the persistence of racism.

Explanation:

The short story "Of the Coming of John" shows how even if a black citizen is well educated, educated and promotes the good of society, with progressive attitudes and actions, he will always be seen as inferior to white citizens, because when the population looks for him, she will see him only as a black man. This is because racism is so ingrained in our society that it prevails, regardless of the situation.

When the author quotes this short story, he wants to emphasize this theme and provoke people's reflection on the racist concepts they encourage.
