Question

Read the passage from "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek" As each green wave rose from the "churning" water, it illuminated within itself the six - or eight- foot- long bodies of twisting sharks. Which best determines the connotative meaning of the underlined word? NOTE there is a picture and the underlined word is churning. A Dangerous B beautiful C moving D Dark

Answer 1

The answer is dangerous

Answer 2

The correct answer is DANGEROUS.

Previous to the word, it's mentioned that the waves were moving, using the word "rose" which already implies a movement going upwards and being dangerous. Afterward, it mentions the word "churning" to describe the movement of the waves, therefore, the word refers to "dangerous".
