I haven't read what your 1st question is about.
The 2nd one is frail. It implies negative health or breakable structure.
The 3rd is " ... important ... " (The others are introducing causes.)
For the first question, in "Thank You, Ma'am," repeating certain words and phrases helps establish the story's tone. The author repeats certain words and phrases throughout the story to emphasize certain ideas or feelings, which in turn helps set the overall tone of the story.
Regarding the second question, among the given words, "frail" has a negative connotation. This word implies weakness and vulnerability, which are generally viewed negatively.
Sure, I can help you with both questions!
For question 2 about the story "Thank You, Ma'am," repeating certain words and phrases can help the author (1 point) establish the story's tone. When an author repeats certain words or phrases throughout a story, it helps create a specific atmosphere or feeling for the reader. In "Thank You, Ma'am," Langston Hughes repeats the phrase "Thank you, ma'am" several times throughout the story. This repetition emphasizes the theme of kindness, forgiveness, and the potential for change. By establishing this tone, the author effectively communicates the message of the story.
For question 3 about the word with a negative connotation, the word that carries a negative meaning is "frail." Connotation refers to the emotions or associations a word may arouse in addition to its literal meaning. In this case, "frail" has a negative connotation as it often implies weakness or vulnerability. On the other hand, words like "sensitive," "delicate," and "dainty" may have neutral or positive connotations depending on the context.
