In one to two sentences, explain how using the negative connotation of a word instead of the positive can impact a sentence.

Leya [2.2K]

Answer: Cause misunderstandings for people who cares about particular grammar.

Explanation: In this case, it's basically using double negatives in a sentence, so (Don't, and No), Are 2 negatives in a sentence, which can cause the sentence to mean something other than what you're trying to get across. So For example: If you were to say (I don't have no clue what time it is) It's basically like saying you do have a clue what time it is, it's 2 negatives in a sentence making it the complete opposite.

galben [10]

A. The ‘secret ministry’ of the frost is that:

(d) it has a secret deal with nature.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge uses the word "ministry", which conveys something is working on behalf of others. It may have a religious connotation as well, as minister can also mean pastor. So the author wants to express nature as something that is alive, which is why it can have a deal with the frost. And it is secret because it falls at midnight, when everyone is asleep.

B. There is silence all around. This is seen in the phrase:

(b) all at rest.

The author says everyone else is sleeping, so aside from the owl breaking the silence twice, there is no other sound.

C. Who is sleeping in the cradle?

(c) the poet's son.

His son Hartley is the one sleeping, which is clear in the sentence "my cradled infant".

D. What disturbs the calm?

(c) the calmness.

Coleridge expresses that the calm is so deep that it is disturbing in itself in the verse:

"‘It’s calm indeed ! so calm, that it disturbs

And vexes meditation with its strange

And extreme silence."

E. The word ‘meditation’ means:

(b) deep thoughts.

The author is referring to his tendency to get lost in deep, philosophical thoughts, which he is able to do when he is by himself at night and everything is quiet.

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

B. One of those days that when you breathed out your breath kind of hung frozen in the air like a hunk of smoke and you could walk along and look exactly like a train blowing out big, fat, white puffs of smoke.

Explanation:

The novel "The Watsons Go to Birmingham" by Christopher Paul Curtis revolves around the lives of the Watson family. Narrated by the second child of the family Kenny, the story tells of the family's trip to Grandma Sands' place in Birmingham, Alabama.

Mentioned in the very first line of the start of the story, the narrator describes the setting as being a rather cold Saturday morning. The setting can be known through his description which allows us the readers to picture what it was like. Kenny states that the day was like "One of those days that when you breathed out your breath kind of hung frozen in the air like a hunk of smoke and you could walk along and look exactly like a train blowing out big, fat, white puffs of smoke". This provides the perfect picture for the readers to know about the setting of the place the narrator and his family were at.
