Answer 1

The answer is D, dreaded has a stronger negative connotation. :)

Answer 2

Answer: D. Dreaded has a stronger negative connotation.

It is likely that by changing the word "feared" for the word "dreaded," Axel wants to emphasize the negative nature of the situation. This is because "dreaded" has a stronger negative connotation than "feared." A connotation is a commonly understood meaning or association that a word carries, in addition to its dictionary meaning (or denotation).
