aleksandrvk [35]

The following sentence is written correctly:

B. The drum major performed badly because she forgot the routine.

<u>Why not A, C or D?</u>

A. The team played <u>good</u> in their championship game so they won. The word<em> good</em> should be replaced with the word<em> well</em>. An adverb describes a verb, the word well would describe how they played. Good is an adjective that describes a noun.

C. Ivan feels<u> well</u> about his choice to join the after-school program. The word <em>well</em> should be replaced with the word <em>good.</em> Whenever, one says someone is feeling well it refers to their health.

D. The gymnast felt<u> badly</u> because they had skipped breakfast. The word <em>badlly</em> should be replaced with the word <em>bad</em>.

When students study shades of meaning, they learn to better express how they are feeling or what they are thinking.

Connotation is the use of a word to suggest a different association than its literal meaning, which is known as denotation. ... Connotations can be either positive, negative, or neutral. Writers often use different connotations to inject multiple layers of meaning into a word, phrase, or passage
