Answer 1

Answer:

(c) Delectable.

Explanation:

The connotative meaning of a word is the idea or feeling that is suggested or implied, though not the literal meaning. It is an added implication along with the literal or explicit meaning of the word.

Among the words given in the option, the word that has a more positive shade of meaning is "delectable". The other three all have a negative meaning.

Thus, the correct answer is option c.
