Explanation:

Question 1

"Cheap" has a negative connotation (implying low quality), while "inexpensive" is neutral. The sentence says the bag fell apart, so "cheap" fits better as it suggests poor quality.

Irony occurs when there's a contrast between expectation and reality. An Olympic swimmer, who is skilled at swimming, drowning is ironic. A simile uses "like/as", metaphor makes a direct comparison, personification gives human traits to non - human things, and hyperbole is exaggeration—none of these fit here. The meaning is that it's ironic that a skilled swimmer died by drowning.

"Concerned" has a positive connotation (showing care), and "nosy" has a negative connotation (being overly inquisitive). The denotation is "to be interested", so the positive (+) word is "concerned" and the negative (-) word is "nosy".

Answer:

cheap
