Hello. You forgot to mention that this question is about the article "New York City, 1869" written by Marcia Lusted.

Answer:

D. People crossed the East River by ferry-boat, night and day.

Explanation:

The first paragraph shows how the crossing between New York and Brooklyn was not as easy as it is today. In the paragraph we can see that before the construction of the point, the passage between these two regions was not done in an innovative and technological way, but through ferries. People crossed the East River by ferry, night and day, until the bridge was built and revolutionized the movement between people.

How do you tell if a word has a positive or negative connotation?
jonny [76]

Answer:

Connotation is an idea or feeling that a word evokes. If something has a positive connotation, it will evoke warm feelings. Meanwhile, something with a negative connotation will make someone feel less than pleasant. To call someone “verbose” when you want to say they're a “great conversationalist” may not convey that.

D is the answer because the verb is dripping due to fact that that's the action and the mood is indicative because indicative means revealing and it reveals that the dripping paintbrush will get paint on you if you're not careful.
