The correct answer is C. The essay I wrote is pure garbage, but I don't know how to fix it.

Explanation:

The connotation of a word or connotative meaning refers to the association in terms of thoughts, emotions, and feelings a word has. This type of meaning differs from the denotative meaning of words or the meaning found in dictionaries that is a "universal" meaning. In the case of the word "garbage", the literal meaning of this word is any material that has been discarded or is a waste, while its connotative meaning refers to the quality of being inferior.

Considering this, the sentence that uses the connotation rather than the denotation of this word is "The essay I wrote is pure garbage, but I don't know how to fix it.", because in this sentence the word "garbage" does not refer to a discarded material (denotative meaning), but to an association of the word that is something that is useless or that is inferior (connotation).

Answer:

D. By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd.

Explanation:

Inversion or reverse word order is a literary technique used by writers when they deviate from the conventional pattern of writing. This means that they intentionally place the words, phrases, or sentences against the traditional sentence form/ structure.

William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 18" is one of the many love poems he wrote. The sonnet also used a number of inversions, including one in the line<em> "By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd."</em> The presence of "untrimm'd" at the end is purposefully placed to maintain the rhyme scheme of the whole sonnet.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
