Question 3 • IC English 11 - Deering

Which of the following choices describe connotations of the word pretty? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
positive, because attractiveness is a quality that many people admire
B
positive, because attractiveness is an indicator of strength in women
C
negative, because it could imply a lack of intelligence
D
negative, because it could imply a lack of beauty

Explanation

“Pretty” usually has a positive connotation because it describes attractiveness, which many people admire. In some contexts, calling someone “pretty” may also carry a negative implication that the person is valued for appearance rather than intelligence. It does not suggest a lack of beauty, and attractiveness is not an indicator of strength in women.
