Part a read these sentences from paragraph 2 of the passage. these words sank deep into my heart, stirred up sentiments within that lay slumbering, and called into existence an entirely new train of thought. it was a new and special revelation, explaining dark and mysterious things, with which my youthful understanding had struggled, but struggled in vain. i now understood what had been to me a most perplexing difficulty—…. which definition best expresses the connotative meaning of the word youthful as the author uses it in the second sentence?

Hello!

The connotative meaning of the word juvenile used in the second sentence allows us to refer to the term "naive" or "immaturity" since the subject describes his youth as the cause that he can not notice many things at a certain moment. He then refers us to the understanding that it was because of his young age, little experience or immaturity that he has not been understand facts before.

I hope that it can help you!
