Question 15 • Twilight Session 1 (Fall 26): Literature and Composition I_CThompson

Which synonym changes "wild" to a word with a neutral connotation in the sentence "The horse was very wild"?

Answer
A
untamed
B
ferocious

Explanation

“Untamed” means not trained or controlled, which describes the horse without strongly judging it. “Ferocious” suggests dangerous or violent behavior, so it has a negative connotation rather than a neutral one. Therefore, “untamed” is the neutral synonym.
