A connotation refers to your personal feelings and emotions towards a certain word. It can be positive (when it evokes positive feelings), negative (when you feel negative emotions), or neutral (when the word doesn't really evoke any feelings). Here, the word with the most negative flavor or connotation is C. harangue, because it refers to aggressive and critical speech, whereas the other words are pretty neutral.

Select all that apply.A subordinate clause may be introduced by _____.
prepositional phrase
relative pronoun
subordinate conjunction
verbal
coordinate conjunction

Answers

Subordinate clauses usually begin with a subordinate conjunction or a relative pronoun.

Answer:

relative pronoun, subordinate conjunction

Explanation:

Relative pronouns like who, whom, which, or that are most often used to introduce subordinate clauses, e.g. "The electric guitar that my brother bought me is awesome." The underlined portion is the subordinate clause, introduced by that, modifying the subject in the main sentence "The electric guitar." The same is true for subordinate conjunctions like after, because and until: "I will be waiting here until you decide to return." Once again, the result is a clause (subject you + predicate decide toreturn) that, due to the subordinating conjunction, cannot stand on its own as a sentence.
