Answer 2

Answer:

Suffered

Explanation:

Words have two types of meaning

• Denotation - their literal meaning;
• Connotation - an emotional or cultural association they carry.

Depending on the type of emotion a word evokes in a person, its connotation can be negative, neutral, or positive.

The words most, property, and exclaimed are neutral. Suffered is the only one that has a negative connotation. When someone suffers (something), we know that something bad happened to them.
