Exercise in ConnotationExplain why the boldfaced words in the following sentences reflect the writer's insensitivity to connotation, and in each case supply a more appropriate word. Answers to the first three items are provided for you.1. We all wanted to go swimming, but Father combated the idea.2. I am pleased with your drastic improvement in this course over the past weeks.3. In our college painting class, our instructor is teaching us how to draw and paint naked figures.Answers1. "Combated" is too negative and militaristic-sounding for the context. A more appropriate verb would be "rejected" or "turned down." 2. "Drastic" suggests a serious change for the worse, not for the better. Better choices would be "significant" or "noticeable" or even "strong."3. "Naked" doesn't carry the artistic or aesthetic sense of "nude."Now continue with these items. Consult a dictionary if you unsure of either the meaning or the connotative value of the boldfaced words. In one or two cases, you may need to reword the sentence slightly rather than merely supplying a new word with a different connotation.
