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.

horsena [70]

Answer:

Good morning, to our respected principal, teachers and fellow. I am Ana Bake from 12th standard.  I am here to give a warm welcome to our respected principal and introduce him with our school. It is a matter of great honor for me to welcome the new principal of St. Thomas, Mr. William Shane. Our school was established in 2001 and from then our school has faced many challenges and overcome them with new strategies. Let me introduce you with few of the challenges our school face, shortage of teachers for inetrmediate standards, lack of co-curricular activities and sports, lack of computer learning opportunties, should focus on personal development, lack of parents-teacher interaction, school boundaries need to be sealed and career counselling for subjects such as physical education, music and dance. We have high hopes from our new principal that he will understand todays need and will solve all the challenges. We will support our school to overcome these challenges and keep our school's prosperity high.

If John’s great-grandfather was killed as a child, John would not have been born. John would not have been able to travel back in time to take his great-grandfather to the circus. So his grandfather would not have been killed. If his grandfather had not been killed, John would have been born and could travel through time.
