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.

An illustration of the letter 'A' in a speech bubbles

SAMPIPER22

CERTIFIED EDUCATOR

The creature's first murder is that of William. In the creature's own words from Chapter 16, he was sleeping in the woods when William, a "beautiful" child came upon him and he was seized with the intention that he should "educate him as my companion and friend". Unfortunately William screamed when he saw the creature's "form" and unwittingly revealed his father was Frankenstein. The creature then decided to kill William and "grasped his throat to silence him, and in a moment he lay dead at my feet". The decision to make William his first victim is very deliberate and calculated.

When dead, the creature noticed a locket around William's throat which he took. Planting the locket on Justine as she herself slept, the creature framed Justine for William's murder. As a result she was duly executed.

The creature learns from the death of William that he can "create desolation; my enemy is not invulnerable; this death will carry despair to him, and a thousand other miseries shall torment and destroy him", therefore inspiring the creature to further crimes.

Translate the sonnet into modern speak. It does not have to follow Iambic Pentameter.
aivan3 [116]

Answer: I do not form judgments on the stars, but it seems to me that I know astrology. I cannot predict good or bad things - plagues, famines or the quality of a season. I cannot precisely predict all the hardships that someone will have to experience. I cannot tell princes if everything will be alright by looking at the heaven. What I can predict, however, is the future when I look into your eyes. In those reliable guides, I see that truth and beauty will only thrive if your attributes are passed on to a child. In any other case, I predict that when you die, so will truth and beauty.

Explanation:

<em>Sonnet 14</em> is one of 154 sonnets written by William Shakespeare. It was written as a procreation sonnet within the Fair Youth sequence. In this poem, the speaker tells us about foreseeing the future. He claims that he cannot predict what is going to happen by looking at the stars and the sky. As he describes it, the eyes of a loved one will tell him everything instead.
