Read the blog entry below and answer the question that follows: At first I dreaded going to sixth grade camp. I was sure the food would be poisonous, I would freeze to death in my sleeping bag, and the other kids in my cabin would never talk to me. But was I wrong! In fact, it was the best week ever! I went horseback riding and participated in a ropes activity with a zip line course. After the course, I climbed to the top of a pole using only ropes and carabiner clips, and then I rappelled off the top. I even made a new best friend. Oh, by the way, the food was delicious. It tasted better than my mom's! (But don't tell her.)

Review the following sentence.

And the food was delicious.

If the author wanted to convey a connotation that has a more positive shade of meaning, which of the following words could replace delicious?

(A) Repulsive
(B)Unappealing
(c) Delectable
(D) Bland

(c) Delectable.

Explanation:

The connotative meaning of a word is the idea or feeling that is suggested or implied, though not the literal meaning. It is an added implication along with the literal or explicit meaning of the word.

Among the words given in the option, the word that has a more positive shade of meaning is "delectable". The other three all have a negative meaning. Moreover, the word "delectable" implies a delicious and appetizing feeling or impression, thereby perfectly replacing the word "delicious" in the reviewed sentence.

Thus, the correct answer is option c.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
