The correct answer is D. Lifeless

Explanation:

The connotative meaning of a word refers to the associations or connections a word has in a context, in this way, the connotative meaning is not about the definition in dictionaries or the definition people agree on, but the associations the word has depending on how people understand it or the context in which it appears. In the case of "John, an aspiring actor, was criticized at his last audition for being stagnant and uninteresting" the context in which it appears  that is an audition suggest the word stagnant refers to the inability of John to express emotions or communicate with the audience, as this is something common in this context, because of this the most appropriate connotative meaning of this is lifeless as this word expresses John's lack of expressions, movement or the like, that made him look similar to someone or something inanimated or without life, not because he is dead, but because he was unable to display certain emotions or movements during the audition, which makes people compare him to something that lacks life.

Tell me how to make the best hot chocolate in the world, plz!!
Bess [88]

Many people often use hot chocolate mix with water or milk, as directed. In my opinion it's best when made with melted chocolate and milk in a pot on the stove. Usually adding a few tiny ingredients like cinnamon, vanilla extract (Small amounts), and/or sugar is good to spice things up. Top a cup of it off with some marshmallows, and you have some very good hot chocolate. Now keep in mind, when cooking it, you don't want too much chocolate compared to milk or vise/versa. It's best when it's at about a caramel consistency. Putting too much chocolate can cause it to attempt to harden over time, or putting too much milk can overpower the taste of the chocolate.

I hope this helped and I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks!

I really just need one paragraph explaining the Manhattan project. like anything about that.
Nana76 [90]
The Manhattan Project was established in the United States during WW2 to create the atomic bomb. It was led by Robert Oppenheimer and General Leslie R. Groves with scientists from the United States, Great Britain and Canada. The Manhattan Project was chiefly carried out in three secret locations at Hanford, Washington, Oak Ridge, Tennessee and Los Alamos, New Mexico. The Manhattan Project produced the atomic bombs, "Fat Man" and "Little Boy" that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and, ended WW2. The purpose of the Manhattan Project was to develop an Atomic Bomb. The Little Boy atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and the "Fat Man" atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki.  The Manhattan Project started on May 12, 1942 when President Roosevelt signed an order creating a top secret project to develop the nuclear weapon. The Manhattan Project was kept top secret for fear that the nuclear technology would be stolen by enemy spies belonging to Germany or Japan or fall into the hands of the Russians. Info about the Manhattan Project could be used to accelerate their own nuclear projects or to mount covert operations against the project. The famous scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project included Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi, David Bohm, Leo Szilard, Vannevar Bush, Walter Zinn , David Bohm, Herbert L. Anderson, Eugene Wigner, Otto Frisch, Rudolf Peierls, Felix Bloch, John R. Dunning, Niels Bohr, Emilio Segre, James Franck, Ernest O. Lawrence, Klaus Fuchs, Arthur Wahl and Edward Teller. http://m.american-historama.org/1929-1945-depression-ww2-era/manhattan-project.htm
