Read the blog entry below and answer the question that follows: at first i dreaded going to sixth grade camp. i was sure the food would be poisonous, i would freeze to death in my sleeping bag, and the other kids in my cabin would never talk to me. but was i wrong! in fact, it was the best week ever! i went horseback riding and participated in a ropes activity with a zip line course. after the course, i climbed to the top of a pole using only ropes and carabiner clips, and then i rappelled off the top. i even made a new best friend. oh, by the way, the food was delicious. it tasted better than my mom's! (but don't tell her.) review the part of the sentence below that is in bold. i went horseback riding and participated in a ropes activity with a zip line course. after the course, i climbed to the top of a pole using only ropes and carabiner clips, and then i rappelled off the top. what type of language has the author used here? language with positive connotation language with negative connotation technical language hyperbole

he answer would be B. The author was worried he/she might not enjoy camp. 

He/She wasn't impatient because it said she "dreaded" it so that rules out A.

He/She wasn't welcoming the opportunity, because again, the word "dreaded" was used.

He/She wasn't excited because "dreaded" does not imply exciteme

I would contend that the right answer is actually the C) Technical language.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that by using nouns and verbs such as horseback riding, participated, course, carabiner clips, and rappelled off, just to name a few, the author has primarily used a technical and formal language, which requires a specific knowledge of those two activities—riding and climbing. This section of the blog is very objective, so I would argue that the language does not have positive or negative connotation. In addition, the use of hyperbole in a text requires exaggeration, or an attempt to make something or someone sound or look significantly better or worse than another thing or person. Although the author seems confident in his/her abilities, he/she is not using hyperbole in this part of his/her account.
