Answer:

Based on the context clues, penury most likely means:

C) poverty

Explanation:

The word penury refers to a situation of extreme poverty or need, a situation of destitution. But even if we do not know the meaning, we can guess it from the context clues in the passage. Right after mentioning the character had never known such penury before, the narrator explains the character has absolutely no money, no place to go and spend the night, no food to eat. He is actually in the corner of an alley, trying to protect himself from the cold wind with newspapers and boxes to get some sleep. From all those facts, we can safely assume that penury refers to poverty.

Which of the following correctly applies to connotations.. They are always fixed, they are always subjective, or they can be fix
AlekseyPX


Connotations can be fixed or subjective.

Connotations are the emotions that we associate with a given word. While most of the time, these are fixed (i.e. some words arouse pleasure while others contempt), they can be subjective. (i.e. for someone who is afraid of dogs, the word dog can imply danger, whereas for someone who loves dogs, the word can be a source of comfort and pleasure).
