Answer:

D) The flower garden was vibrant, it was very lively!

Explanation:

Let's go over the rest of the answers to see why they're wrong.

A) words like "rather" or "instead" indicate that two clauses or parts of a sentence contradict one another. so truculent and easygoing are antonyms.

B) it is true that to be truculent means to not give up easily, it's just not answering the question itself. "she didn't give up easily" is just defining the word, not using a synonym as a context clue.

C) "angry as a bear" is just an example of a simile. totally irrelevant.

D) is correct because vibrant and lively are synonyms, and the text uses one word to define another, therefore creating a relationship between the two words that mean the same thing.

Thornton Wilder expected the audience to feel nostalgic about the setting of Grover's Corners. This event is taken from the "Our Town" play created by Thornton Wilder which tells about a town named Grover's Corners. In the opening scene, the stage manager intends to makes the audience feel nostalgic because he wants to tell them about the town's history. Grover's Corners is described as a small town that does not have big landmarks.

Which set of words is the most negative in terms of connotative meaning? A.small: thin B.small: petite C.small; little D.small;

maxonik [38]

I would say D. because of how scrawny is a negative word.

An example:
Skinny, thin, and slender. These three words all mean having less weight on one's body than what might be considered average. But the connotations differ since the suggested meanings of skinny and thin are often more negative than slender, with skinny potentially the most negative of the three.

It is the same for scrawny, thin, petite, and little.
