A direct object is the part of the sentence that is somehow manipulated by the subject, and the type of the manipulation is described by the verb.
here the subject is "The delighted children" and the verb is "picked"
the direct object is "pumkins" - the correct answer is d.
The word with a negative connotation is discouraging.
When someone is discouraged, they are dispirited, disheartened, and with a lack of enthusiasm; this has a negative implication.
All other options have positive connotations, except maybe bulb, which is pretty neutral.
I hope this helps you!
Answer:
definition 1.
Explanation:
the context matters in the sentence. It has the indication of a screw for tightening, saying the word "latch" making it obvious.
The answer is option B: The vacant stare and the look of terror that had followed.
In the passage from "The Story of an Hour," by Kate Chopin, it is not necessary to separate the subject with two elements with a comma - the vacant stare and the look of terror.
Options A, C and D are incorrect because they contain a misplaced comma.
