Question

In one to two sentences, explain how using the negative connotation of a word instead of the positive can impact a sentence.(2 points)

Answer 1

Using a word with a negative connotation shifts the sentence’s tone and makes readers view the subject more unfavorably, eliciting a stronger emotional or critical reaction. Even when the literal facts are unchanged, the negative wording alters the implied meaning or bias, affecting how the speaker or subject is perceived.
