Answer:

Brainwash

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

convince
brainwash
persuade
influence

Words have two types of meaning:

Denotation - their literal meaning;
Connotation - the emotional or cultural association they carry. Depending on what emotion a word evokes, its connotation can be defined as negative, neutral, or positive.

The words convince, persuade, and influence have a neutral connotation. The only word that has a negative connotation is brainwash. When someone brainwashes someone else, they lead them to believe something by continually telling them that it is true while preventing them from thinking about it properly. Whenever we use this word, we're talking about a negative occurrence.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The changes that Anaya's grandfather reflect the idea that people should accept, enjoy and participate in aging because it is a natural thing in life.

Explanation:

When we play Anaya's grandfather and the changes he undergoes over time, we can see that growing old is natural to our lives and that these changes cannot be stopped. This shows us that although many of us are afraid of aging, we will have to go through this and for that reason, we should, like her grandfather, celebrate, participate, respect and enjoy each stage of our life.
