L 2.3.5 Quiz: Connotation and Denotation
Question 3 of 5
How can the author use connotation to give this excerpt a sillier tone?
Chuckles tripped over his enormous shoes, and a strange object fell
out of his pocket.
O A. Change "object" to "doohickey."
B. Change "tripped" to "stumbled."
O C. Change "a strange" to "an odd."
O D. Change "enormous" to "gigantic."
Connotation is used to portray how the author wants the reader to feel when reading their works, and since the author wants to put off a sillier tone, a word like "doohickey" is a good replacement.
