Question

I need help please. Which words in the following sentence have a negative connotation?

“Los Angeles is set down low, surrounded by mountain ranges making it highly susceptible to high ozone levels.” a) mountain ranges , high zone b) surrounded, highly susceptible c) surrounded, high zone d) highly susceptible, high zone

Answer 1

D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative connotation means that the word/phrase/sentence, etc. gives a bad feeling of what is going on. In this case, "highly susceptible" is generally used in describing something that is very likely to gain a negative effect or trait. While having some ozone is good in deflecting harmful UV rays, having a high ozone would affect many parts of the human body, causing a person to suffer. These two are what is given to make the sentence have a negative feel to it.
