Question

which of the following words has the connotation that best fits the sentence below? louis ____ down the road in his car; he couldnt be late for work again! shuffled waltzed meandered rocketed

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the connotation of each word. The context is Louis not wanting to be late for work, so we need a word implying speed.

• "shuffled" means moving slowly/draggingly, not fitting.
• "waltzed" implies a graceful, leisurely movement, not urgent.
• "meandered" means moving in a winding, slow way, not urgent.
• "rocketed" means moving very fast, which fits the urgency of not being late.

Answer:

D. rocketed
