The denotative meaning of peculiar is "belonging to one person." The connotative meaning of this word kind of has a negative feeling. In the second sentence,<span> the connotative meaning is slightly more positive than the first statement, although it still seems a bit negative. I think that connotative meanings help establish a meaningful tone in any text because they give </span>of<span> the feeling of if they are negative or positive which in turn helps the readers understand the tone of the overall story. </span>

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option b:"The author once felt pride and optimism about the war".

Explanation:

In the excerpt, the author says that "he was proud of the young American pilots sitting at the controls in the cockpit" and that "he was grateful for the opportunity to witness this adventure and report it".

It just says that he was excited to get on a U.S Army helicopter, it does not say nor infer that is was his first flying experience, therefore, option a is incorrect.

It doesn't say and it cannot be inferred that the U.S soldiers are trained in hand to hand combat, so option c is also incorrect.

The author barely mentions the Vietcong guerillas, and he does not seem to have any respect for them since he was excited about war, so option d is also incorrect.

IRISSAK [1]
By the name "Revolutionary Tea", (even though i have never heard of the song), i can imply a few things.

1) It happened during the Revolutionary war
2) It has to do with Tea

Next, we will look at the answer choices. The only reasonable one is The Boston Tea Party, as while it is before the Revolution, it is the only one that had to do with Tea (dumping of tea over into the Boston Harbor from the ships), and led to the Revolutionary war.


The Boston Tea Party is your best answer
