Each word has two types of meaning:
- Denotation - its literal meaning;
- Connotation - the emotional or cultural association it carries.
Words <em>dinner, invited, </em>and<em> turkey</em> are used in their primary, literal meaning. The only word that is used somewhat figuratively is <em>crashed</em>. The primary meaning of the verb<em> to crash</em> is <em>to break or fall to pieces with noise</em> or <em>to collide, especially violently and noisily </em>(when we talk about moving vehicles, objects, etc.). Here, it means <em>to go somewhere you are not invited</em>. It's not a positive concept. That's why option C is the correct one.
