Answer:

I am not <em>entirely</em> sure, but I would guess that in the passage the word with a negative connatatve meaning would be life. While life typically has a positive denotative meaning, in this instance it takes on a negative connative meaning  because it is how long Douglass will be a slave. A life sentence is not positive when you are trapped.

The following question refers to the selections regarding Edgar Allan Poe’s mysterious death:
sladkih [1.3K]
The main idea of the September 1996 New York Times story is that Poe may have died of rabies.
The entire story tells of how we are mistaken when we think that Poe died drunk in a gutter wearing somebody else's clothes. Whereas it is true that he was wearing another man's clothes (having being robbed of his own), the first part is not true - according to Dr. Benitez, Poe had rabies and died in a hospital.

Which best illustrates Sampson’s high opinion of himself?
maw [93]
C. His declaration that he is a 'pretty piece of flesh'. The phrase means that he thinks he is very attractive. Through the whole opening scene he is bragging to Gregory about how well he will do in battle and how the members of the house of Montague will react to him--especially the women. He thinks he would have a right to treat them with disrespect because he is so attractive, which further shows his high opinion of himself.
