Explanation: There are two ways an author can support a viewpoint. One way is by choosing words carefully. This is done by <u>denotation</u> or <u>connotation</u>. <u>Denotations</u>, or meanings, and strong <u>connotations</u>, or emotional associations, can help convey a viewpoint.
<u>Denotations</u>: mean the exact meaning of the word used.
Ex. Word used: Isolated
Denotation word: separated
<u>Connotations</u>: mean a word with emotional associations.
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 <em>most, property, </em>and <em>exclaimed </em>are neutral. <em>Suffered</em> is the only one that has a negative connotation. When someone suffers (something), we know that something bad happened to them.
You could use an of these possbile answe choices. It is completely up to you. None of them are wrong but C doesnt sound very nice to me. It doesnt mark any of them wrong so feel free to click any of them or just one. Whatever suits you. HOPE THIS HELPS
