B. Plump

Words have both denotations and connotations.  A denotation is a word’s literal meaning (or definition), and a connotation is a word’s implied meaning.  With regard to connotations, words can be either positive or negative.  It is possible to communicate the same thing using different words and have an underlying meaning be different.  For instance, to say “My dog is fat” has a bit of negative connotation.  But, to say “My dog is plump” has less negative and even positive connotation because of how (even though both sentences mean overweight) “plump” has almost a cuteness element to its tone.

I would probably say plump. 

Essentially, in this question, you're looking for the word that would be the least insulting. More broadly, when asked about positive connotation, you're looking for a word that is not viewed negatively. 

Words like fat and cheap have negative connotations, especially when applied to people. Words like plump and frugal are much more positive.

What is the difference between a monologue and a soliloquy? A soliloquy is spoken while alone on stage. A monologue is spoken in
Andrej [43]

Answer:

A). A soliloquy is spoken while alone on stage.

Explanation:

As per the question, the key difference between a soliloquy and a monologue is that 'a soliloquy is spoken by a character to himself/herself while he/she is alone on stage' while a monologue is a conversational speech that is made by an individual to the audience directly.

However, both the devices are employed by the authors to reveal the thoughts, feelings, or opinions of the character to the audience but soliloquy on the one hand is regardless of the audience or speakers('Hamlet's talking to himself alone as 'to be or not to be' which reveal his thoughts aloud) and usually more precise while monologue on the other hand is a lengthy and tedious speech made by one character in the middle of a conversation to the audience deliberately which may or may not reveal the actual thoughts. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
