Question

read this sentence. bobs new classmate is pushy. he insisted that bob show him around school and would not leave him alone until he did. what is the connotative meaning of the word pushy as it is used in the sentence? assertive brave energetic friendly

Explanation:

• "Assertive" means being confident and forceful in expressing one's opinions or desires. In the sentence, Bob's classmate is described as being pushy (insisting and not leaving Bob alone until he shows him around), which aligns with the connotation of being assertive.
• "Friendly" implies being kind and pleasant, which does not match the pushy behavior described.
• "Energetic" relates to having a lot of energy, not the forceful behavior in the context.
• "Brave" means having courage, which is not relevant to the described behavior.

Answer:

assertive
