This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find them online. They are the following:

A. positive, because attractiveness is a quality many people admire.

B. positive, because attractiveness is an indicator of strength in women.

C. negative, because it could imply a lack of intelligence.

D. negative, because it could imply a lack of beauty.

Answer:

The choices that describe the connotations of the word "pretty" are:

A. positive, because attractiveness in a quality many people admire.

C. negative, because it could imply a lack of intelligence.

Explanation:

A connotation is an extra meaning a word can have besides the literal one it already possesses. Connotations appear according to the different contexts in which a word or phrase is used. For instance, the same word may have a positive and a negative connotation, depending on how it is employed.

That is what happens with the adjective "pretty". We all know the general and positive connotation of the word. When we call a girl pretty, we are complimenting her physical beauty. Since people admire beauty, this connotation is good.

However, we can also use "pretty" in a negative way. If we say a woman is "nothing but a pretty face," we are implying she lacks intelligence. This connotation derives its negative meaning from the context and the construction of the sentence (combined with "nothing but").

The next morning, Anthony awoke to laughing and applauding, so he threw on some jeans and a T-shirt and hurried down the hallway
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

<u>he was confused</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Note, we are told that, "Anthony awoke to laughing and applauding," in other words, he woke up by an unusual action, "laughing and applauding". This causes Anthony to wonder confusingly what had occurred, which fits in with the definition of the word, "quizzical".

The word quizzical is an adjective that is often used to denote the expression of someone who appears to be confused or amused.
