12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 time remaining 43: 37 read the excerpt from roosevelt's executive order no. 9066. whereas the successful prosecution of the war requires every possible protection against espionage and against sabotage to national-defense material, national-defense premises, and national-defense utilities . . which word from the excerpt has a negative connotation? premises sabotage utilities defense

The answer is: sabotage.      

The connotation of a word is the idea or feeling of the word besides its literal meaning. In the excerpt from Roosevelt's "Executive Order No. 9066," the word sabotage means to destroy, damage or prevent something for political or military convenience.

The rest of the alternatives are incorrect because their meanings do not imply an unfavorable thought. In that respect, premises are propositions from which others are assumed as a conclusion; the term utilities refers to services; and defense is the action of resisting attack.

i believe that's the correct answer
