Sagot :

Answer:

Passage 1 > Mostly Positive

Passage 2 > Mostly Negative

Explanation:

Positive and negative connotation suggest that when a phrase is spoken, the word usage describes whether it is a good feeling, positive, or a bad feeling, negative.

An example of this is a shoplifter. You can say someone is at a store buying items, which is positive, but you can also call them a shoplifter, which brings a negative tone.

In Passage 1, the word usage is "bobbed" "cool" "afternoon" and "lapped". These words bring a positive tone, and therefore are positive.

In Passage 2, the word usage is "rocked", "ragged", "frigid", and "slapped", which suggest a negative tone.
