Question

Read the passage from "The Tell-Tail Heart":

How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily--how calmly I can tell you the whole story.

What is the connotative meaning of the underlined word?

The underlined word is (Mad)

A. Sick
B. Weak
C. Insane
D. Angry

Answer 1

C. Insane

this can be drawn from the fact that he says "how calmly I can tell you the whole story", which is the narrator attempting to prove that he isn't insane.
