America the Not-So-Beautiful

English
1 answer:
Temka [501]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A The author uses loaded language when he says, “Some of the things we're throwing away are poisoning the Earth and will eventually poison all of us and all living things,”

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from America the Not-So-Beautiful by Andrew A. Rooney, the author talks about the dangers of improperly disposing waste. He tries to convince Americans that they should dispose of their waste properly.

The author uses loaded language to convey his point of view about throwing things away by saying that Americans are "wasteful and we don't want to fix anything, so if something is broken we will just buy a new one". He also says that some of the things "we're throwing away are poisoning the Earth and will eventually poison all of us and all living things".

Loaded language is a type of rhetoric that is used to have an impact on an audience by triggering an emotional response by using strong words or phrases.

Which choice should be placed in the blank to create the most negative connotation?
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Brainwash

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

  • convince
  • brainwash
  • persuade
  • influence

Words have two types of meaning:

  • Denotation - their literal meaning;
  • Connotation - the emotional or cultural association they carry. Depending on what emotion a word evokes, its connotation can be defined as negative, neutral, or positive.

The words <em>convince, persuade, </em>and <em>influence</em> have a neutral connotation. The only word that has a negative connotation is <em>brainwash</em>. When someone brainwashes someone else, they lead them to believe something by continually telling them that it is true while preventing them from thinking about it properly. Whenever we use this word, we're talking about a negative occurrence.
