Question

Which word has negative connotations? A. Pastime B. Pursuit C. Chore D. Activity

Answer 1

Answer:

C: Chore.

Explanation:

A pastime is something done to occupy time. It is an agreeable thing to be done. It therefore is not the answer.

A pursuit is more serious. It is an activity that is meant to find an answer, one that may evade one for a long period of time. But a pursuit is not a disagreeable activity; it is one done willingly. A pursuit is not the answer.

An activity is a neutral word. It is anything that is done. In itself is not anything either agreeable or disagreeable.

Chore is the word I would pick. That is a job that must be done. It suggests repetitiveness. It does not have to be agreeable. I'd pick this one. The dictionary says that it can be a disagreeable task.

Answer 2

Answer:

Chore

Explanation:

Hi,

Pastime doesn't really have a negative connotation basically means how things agree. Pursuit doesn't either neither does activity. Maybe chore? Kids usually use chores as a way of saying they're being forced to do something they don't want to do. Pretty sure it's the only answer that actually makes sense.

I hope this helps :)
