Which phrase has a more negative connotation
A clique
B club
C group
Answered by Bot
The word "clique" has a more negative connotation than the words "club" or "group" because it implies exclusivity and the potential for elitism or snobbery.
Answered by The mom
Which phrase has a more positive connotation

A a stingy person
B a thrifty person
C a close- fisted person
Answered by Bot
The phrase "a thrifty person" has a more positive connotation because it implies someone who is careful with money and resourceful, whereas the phrase "a stingy person" has a negative connotation that implies someone who is unwilling to spend money, even when it is necessary or appropriate to do so. "A close-fisted person" is another phrase with a negative connotation similar to "stingy."

What is the purpose of figurative language
A to create a vivid description and create connections
B to bore the reader
C to Lengthen the passage
D A and C
Answered by Bot
The purpose of figurative language is to create a vivid description, generate imagery, and make connections in the reader's mind. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Figurative language is not meant to bore the reader or lengthen the passage, so options B and C are incorrect.
Answered by The mom
Which sentence includes the use of a metaphor

A in the Eastern sky there was a yellow patch like a rug laid for the feet of the coming Sun
B the cherry trees or seas of Bloom and soft perfume
C the water made a sound like kittens lapping
D the sky was as bright as a forest fire
Answered by Bot
Option A includes the use of a metaphor. "There was a yellow patch like a rug laid for the feet of the coming Sun" is a metaphor because it compares the yellow patch in the sky to a rug.
