Reread this sentence from paragraph 5 of "A Quest for Lord

Corliss. For the next edition of the game, the writer is trying

to decide among three words to replace the word able.

Which of these show the correct sequence of the words from

the weakest to the strongest connotation?

Answer: capable strong mighty

C). Capable strong mighty.

Explanation:

The correct sequence of the words from the weakest to the strongest connotation would be 'capable strong mighty'. Capable connotes to 'being able or efficient' while 'strong' implies the meaning 'ability to produce or withstand powerfully' that makes it stronger than mere 'being capable/able'. The word 'mighty' overpowers both these words that connotes to 'having great strength, valor, and courage' and hence, becomes the strongest. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
