I am taking a a big State test next week in Language Arts and I have a few questions I need help answering!Here are the questions. 1. What does...

1. Parasite officially means an organism (animal, plant,
or single cell life form) that lives in or on another organism (the host) and gets
nutrients at the host's expense. A tapeworm is a parasite because it lives in the
stomach of its host and gets food from that host. It doesn't do anything good for the
host and actually harms it because it takes needed
food.

Parasite can also be used to describe a person that
depends on or uses other people and doesn't give anything in
return.

7. A connotation goes beyond the literal definition
of a word. Words often cause a person to have a certain idea or
feeling.

For example, brat and child are both words that
mean a young person. Brat has a negative connotation because we see it as a word
describing a child that is not well behaved.

A second
example includes the words thin, skinny, skeletal, bony, and gaunt. All of these words
could describe a small person, however, skeletal, bony and gaunt all have a negative
connotation because it makes you think of an unhealthy person.
