Which answer best identifies the connotative definition of the highlighted word?

After the trumpet was sounded and the flag folded, a member of the honor guard knelt in front of my frail, aging mother, looked her directly in the eye and in a soft voice, thanked her— and my father—for his service. It was beautiful, and touching, and I was thankful for the recognition of a life well-lived.

Answer:

The answer is: letter D, need of protection or care

Explanation:

A connotative definition refers to a second meaning of the implied word, phrase or sentence. Such definition is understood according to emotion or culture.

When a person is frail, just like the "aging mother" in the situation above, the person is weak and delicate. This is the denotative meaning.

However, the question above is asking for the connotative meaning. The second meaning would be "she needs protection or care."

So, the answer is letter D.
