Sources that reference only general baseball history and exclude semi-professionals
Sources that reference only semi-professionals and history but not baseball in general
Sources that reference semi-professional baseball and history
Sources that reference semi-professional baseball only and not history

Answers

The correct answer is A. Sources that reference only general baseball history and exclude semi-professional

Explanation:

Most browsers, including academical ones, show results according to the words introduced and the connectors used to connect those words if there is any connector, due to this the words selected should be the keywords and the connectors or conjunctions used need to be appropriate as the results will vary according to those aspects. Considering this by searching for "Baseball AND history" the browser will include sources in which the two terms are included as the conjunction AND is a conjunction that connects words, additionally by adding NOT semi-professional, the browser will remove the sources that include the term semi-professional as Not indicates exclusion of something. In this way, the use of "Baseball AND history NOT semi-professional" will show results that include the words baseball and history, but not those including the term semi-professional.
Sources that reference only general baseball history and exclude semi-professionals because there was no specification of wanting results on semi-professionals.

Which word can be changed in the following sentence to give the statement a positive connotation? Through the woods, you could hear the drone of the birds.a. woods
b. hear
c. birds
d. drone

Answers

Answer:

d. drone

Explanation:

In connotative language, meaning goes beyond its denotation, since the word sends to assorted meanings. The meaning leads to several other associative ideas, virtual, suggested only, and it all depends on the context.

Positive connotation occurs when the meaning of the word is pleasant, leading to good feelings. It also depends a lot on the context in which it is inserted. The same word can have a positive connotation for some, but negative for others.

Since the positive connotation should bring a good feeling to the reader, we can conclude that the word "drone" should be replaced by a word that generates pleasant feelings. The word "drone" causes a feeling of something bad and annoying and should be replaced by a nicer word like "singing" and "chanting".
The option 'd' gives a monotonous meaning to the sentence. A better word would be 'singing' or 'chirping'
