Read the sentence from Barrio Boy by Ernesto Galarza.People talked to one another on the street in low tones; only drunks and muchachitos mal educados raised their voices, or the arrieros when they shouted to their donkeys.Which words best signal that "muchachitos mal educados" has a negative connotation?

The sentence describes people speaking quietly, then contrasts them with those who “raised their voices.” That phrase suggests behavior the narrator disapproves of, helping make “muchachitos mal educados” sound negative. “People talked,” “on the street,” and “their donkeys” do not carry the same disapproving tone.
