Question

Select a word that is used in a primary connotative way

Answer 1

Answer:

C. crashed

Explanation:

Each word has two types of meaning:

• Denotation - its literal meaning;

• Connotation - the emotional or cultural association it carries.

Words dinner, invited, and turkey are used in their primary, literal meaning. The only word that is used somewhat figuratively is crashed. The primary meaning of the verb to crash is to break or fall to pieces with noise or to collide, especially violently and noisily (when we talk about moving vehicles, objects, etc.). Here, it means to go somewhere you are not invited. It's not a positive concept. That's why option C is the correct one.
