(6) Every move connected in a sinuous chain of grace. In Sentence 6, which of the following words would give chain negative connotations? A. sparkling B. linked C. heavy D. flowing

Okay, another connotation one. Let's see if you can get this one. :D Read the sentence. Does the connotation of "Chain of grace" sound positive or negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great! :) So let's look at these answer choices. We can eliminate the positive sounding ones, because we want chain to have a different (aka negative) connotation. Right away I see one that can be eliminated, what about you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um A i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome. We can also get rid of "flowing," because tat sounds graceful. We don't want graceful, we want something awkward and clunky. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be heavy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly. :) Heavy makes it sound all clunky and awkward. :) Not good, negative connotation. :)
