Question

Decide whether each word has a strong negative connotation or a neutral connotation.

"Bicycling by
young
women has helped to swell the ranks of
reckless
girls who finally drift into the standing army of
outcast
women of the United States," wrote Smith in a
resolution
issued by her group, the Women's Rescue League. "The
bicycle
is the devil's advance agent morally and physically in thousands of instances." Smith's resolution called for "all true women and clergymen" to join with her in denouncing the bicycle craze among women as "
indecent
and
vulgar
."
