Margot and i got in the same bed together last evening; it was a frightful squash, but that was just the fun of it.

which best determines the connotation of the boldfaced term?

scary

extreme

uncomfortable

pointless

uncomfortable

Explanation:

We can infer that the connotation (which is the opposite of the literal meaning of a word) of “frightful” by looking at the context: the speaker tells us that two people got into the same bed, and call the event a “frightful squash.” Since “squash” is a small place where you have limited space to move, we can determine that the bed was small and uncomfortable.
