Which of the following terms has a connotation that would best contribute to a professional tone? a. buyers b. consumers c. shoppers d. spenders

B.Consumers

Explanation:

Remember that the connotation of a word refers to it's implied meaning, the things it stands for other than it's literal one. Words have cultural and emotional assosiations or meanings related to them. In  this case the word "consumers" is used in the professional or academic fields. For example, if we look up the word "shopper" in the dictionary it says "a person who is shopping". If we look up "consumer" it says "a person who purchases goods and services for personal use". Basically they refer to the same thing, but one implies a more profound knowledge of economics and the market, the other is used in a day-to-day context.

i would say that these are the two thesis statements best for a literary analysis essay on recurring themes in shakespeare's romeo and juliet:

1.  in romeo and juliet, shakespeare demonstrates that love comes in a variety of forms, be it romantic, familial, or between friends.

2.  shakespeare explores the struggle for identity through the character of juliet in his play romeo and juliet.

the other theses aren't reoccurring in this play. 

explanation:

1. this would be first person. it would be like "i walked home from school today" they are the narrator of the story and is a character as well.

2. first person because they used the word "i" in the quote.

3. i'm really not sure about this one i'm really sorry i never read it so i wouldn't know how to answer it. 

4. it would be character vs. society because everyone he meets there is always a conflict of some sort because he's stuck in his daydream.

5. it would be sadness at the loss of youth because the title itself tells us it's about age so it couldn't be about regret. and the tone just sounds sad, not angry. 

i hope this !
