Question

How can the author use connotation to give this excerpt a happier tone?

Mr. Kirkland looked at each new face as he skipped toward his office.
O
A. Change office to "classroom."
B. Change skipped" to "hurried."
C. Change "face" to "person."
Ο Ο
D. Change "looked" to "beamed."

Answer 1

I'm gonna say B. or D.

Step-by-step explanation:

D does sound very positive but "looked" is more neutral than positive or negative. "Skipped" doesn't seem very nice. I might be completely wrong. Beamed is much more happier. Sorry for the inconvenience! GOOD LUCK!
