The correct answer is A.That the man is determined to protect himself.

Explanation:

This guy is having doubts about the fences. He thinks that they are not good at all if the function is to separate people or animals. He also tries to mention a mythological being like the elves to make reference to the walls. The connotation of "grasped" is to make an idea that he is holding stones to protect himself.

Answer:

A). That the man is determined to protect himself.

Explanation:

The connotation is described as the implied meaning of the word, phrase, or sentence which is contrary to the denotative or literal or explicit meaning of the word or sentence. Such meaning needs to be inferred as per the context.

In the given poem 'Mending Wall' by Robert Frost, the word 'grasped' connotes to 'the man who is determined to protect himself' as he is doubtful of the wall or fences that are being created as he strongly feels that it may isolate the people. He is firm enough in his belief as he feels 'something there is that doesn't love a wall' as 'it seems darkness'. Thus, he wants to protect himself from this alienation and 'not go by father's saying'. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

What is the central idea of this excerpt from "The Destiny of Colored Americans" by Frederick Douglass? The white man’s happines
Mrrafil [7]
The correct answer is C.

The central idea of this passage is that the US needs to grant its black population freedom and equality.

Douglass makes the argument that this country cannot reach its maximum potential if a good portion of the population is oppressed. He compares the oppression of African-Americans in the United States to cutting off the right arm of every soldier going to war -- senseless and dangerous.
