Question

Which word is mostly clearly used connotatively?

Kevin watched as Brittany put down the newspaper and stormed off without another word

Answer 1

A. stormed

Step-by-step explanation:

Connotative use means that a word isn't used in its primary, inteded meaning, but rather in a way that helps us associate that original meaning with something else.

In this example, we have the word "stormed" which describes Brittany's action. Now, it's obvious that a person can't "storm off" in a literal meaning of that word. But just like a storm comes quickly and can be devastating, we can infer, from the connotative use of that word, that Brittany left the room in a fast, angry and furious manner.
