Positive or negative connotation is common in Literal language Context language Technical language Figurative language

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's kind of like the tone that something has. Words have positive and negative connotations, and which word you choose to describe something helps convey feelings towards it. For example, you could say "Sandy is so scrawny", which has a negative connotation, or "Sandy is very slender", which has a positive connotation. Another example: "He is cheap" "He is frugal" Basically, your word choice helps you to express your feelings. Someone who says "Scrawny" is saying something different than someone who is saying "Slender". You can use this in writing.

So is it D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The words intense and earsplitting are both ways of saying that something is loud. But intense suggests positive feelings, while earsplitting suggests negative ones. Although they have similar meanings, the words have different connotations. When you say something is "earsplitting" your ears aren't really splitting so yes I believe it is D.
