Question

Closely read this sentence: “Although Fred normally loved the color blue, he felt that the polka dot pants did not suit him.” What is the connotation of the word “suit” in the passage above? [1.8.5.c]

Answer 1

Connation involves the emotions surrounding a word. The word suit is describing how he feels about the pants. The suit being used in that sense means he did not find it appropriate. He didn't care for them.

Answer 2

It did not fit or match his style.
