Answer: something powerful and threatening

Explanation:

A connotation is the meaning suggested by a word, including the emotions and associations that it comprises.

The literal definition of a fault line is a ground fracture caused by the movement of tectonic plates that could provoke an earthquake.

However, in this excerpt is used in its connotative meaning to describe the powerful and threatening wars and communist ideas that resembled a common enemy for different states, creating a feeling of national identity.

This is why Andy prefers talking to his boss rather than talking to Berry. It is just a matter of perception and judgment.

The other theories are not correct because they are commonly used to study the ways of learning and the intelligences.
