By definition, synonyms are words or phrases that have the same denotation (literal meaning). But synonyms almost always have di

fferent connotations (shades of meaning). Essentially, words have three "charges": positive, negative or neutral. This means that words can be used to create a positive, negative or neutral feeling. Depending on the situation, words can move from one charge to the next.Read the following passage."He's very influential in the clowning community," she whispered to her friend, pointing to the tall man in loose pants and rainbow suspenders striding across the room. "He's a great artist. Balloon animals have never been the same."What is the "charge" of the word "influential" in this passage?

Which sentence uses dashes correctly? will upvote
Arisa [49]
A. <span><span>I'd love to stay and talk, but—yikes! I'm really late now.
</span>This is the correct answer. The dash here is used properly because it shows the break in thought, and it changes the tone of the speaker. That is one use of dashes.

B. </span></span><span>Today we studied a poem, did an experiment, and multiplied fractions. (The sentence doesn't need the dash.)
C. </span><span>The coat—one of the most colorful that I've seen--seemed to be made of string. (It needs another dash after seen.)
