THE ANSWER IS NOT A. STRIDE!!!
I took the pf exam, and I got this question wrong!
the correct answer is (d) run
Example:
Pretend you wrote this sentence: After the party, Tony stayed for another half hour.
You improved it and rewrote it with a connotation: After the party, Tony tarried for another half hour.
Connotation = the flavor of a word
hope this helps;) have an amazing blessed day!
