Read the paragraph. violence in video games is essentially to blame for violence in our society. when children are bombarded with monstrous images, they begin to think that these types of actions are normal or acceptable. children and teenagers are spending excessive numbers of hours playing video games, and they may begin to use them as a guideline for how to act and behave. even if they do not perform violent actions, they may become less sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of others because of what they see reflected in these games. the author most likely uses the word monstrous rather than the word “unpleasant” because it has a more positive connotation than the word “unpleasant.” a more negative connotation than the word “unpleasant.” a more neutral connotation than the word “unpleasant.” almost the same connotation as the word “unpleasant.”

a more negative connotation than the word “unpleasant.”

The word "unpleasant" is used to describe something that does not make us feel good. It refers to something disagreeable that makes us feel uncomfortable. The author, however, is describing images of people suffering and dying. He considers these to be much worse than simply uncomfortable. The word "monstrous" conveys this feeling better, because it has a more negative connotation.

explanation:

compare & contrast informative essay/speech

when speaking or writing for the sole purpose of providing information in order to give audience members a good basis for making a decision, you would present an informative speech or essay.   because you wouldn’t want to be persuading the audience by arguing for one type of exercise over the other, you wouldn’t choose a persuasive/argumentative technique.   to fairly, and without bias, present information about the pros and cons of each type exercise, a compare/contrast, informative speech/essay would be the best bet.
