Winning his directors' approval was almost insignificant in contrast to the task which now lay ahead of the Dodger president. He

made certain that word of his plans did not leak out, particularly to the press. Next, he had to find the ideal player for his project, which came to be called "Rickey's noble experiment." This player had to be one who could take abuse, name-calling, rejection by fans and sportswriters and by fellow players not only on opposing teams but on his own. He had to be able to stand up in the face of merciless persecution and not retaliate.
—I Never Had it Made,
Jackie Robinson, as told to Alfred Duckett

What do you believe is the connotative meaning of the word immigrants in the title?
lukranit [14]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

To answer that question, you need to understand that the connotative meaning of a word is the non-literal and figurative meaning that that word has. The connotation emits a subjunctive meaning that does not match the real meaning of that word. An example diss can be seen in the phrase "Joaquim has a heart of gold" where he presents the expression "heart of gold" with a connotative sense, because no one really has a heart made of gold, but this expression provides the figurative meaning that Joaquin has the good heart.

“How did Faulkner pull it off?” is a question many a fledgling writer has asked themselves while struggling through a period of apprenticeship like that novelist John Barth describes in his 1999 talk "My Faulkner." Barth “reorchestrated” his literary heroes, he says, “in search of my writerly self... downloading my innumerable predecessors as only an insatiable green apprentice can.” Surely a great many writers can relate when Barth says, “it was Faulkner at his most involuted and incantatory who most enchanted me.” For many a writer, the Faulknerian sentence is an irresistible labyrinth. His syntax has a way of weaving itself into the unconscious, emerging as fair to middling imitation.

While studying at Johns Hopkins University, Barth found himself writing about his native Eastern Shore Maryland in a pastiche style of “middle Faulkner and late Joyce.” He may have won some praise from a visiting young William Styron, “but the finished opus didn’t fly—for one thing, because Faulkner intimately knew his Snopses and Compsons and Sartorises, as I did not know my made-up denizens of the Maryland marsh.” The advice to write only what you know may not be worth much as a universal commandment. But studying the way that Faulkner wrote when he turned to the subjects he knew best provides an object lesson on how powerful a literary resource intimacy can be

In which sentence is a contraction used incorrectly?
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

D, the last one, You're circumstances are different.

Explanation:

The contraction "You're" Is actually the words "You are" stuck together. If this was a proper sentence it would have used the possessive "Your" in place of "You're."
