select the correct answer.
read the sentence from paragraph 8.
she seems almost to glow with an angelic light, which ureña said was indicative of delaney’s longtime interest in anderson.
what does angelic light connote in the sentence?
a. supernatural characteristics
b. power and strength
c. brightly colored garments
d. beauty and grace

Explanation:

To determine what "angelic light" connotes, we analyze the options. "Angelic" often relates to a divine or supernatural quality. Option A (supernatural characteristics) aligns with the idea of an angelic light, as angels are supernatural beings. Option B (power and strength) doesn't fit the connotation of "angelic". Option C (brightly colored garments) is about clothing, not the light's connotation. Option D (beauty and grace) is less directly tied to the supernatural aspect of "angelic". So the best choice is A.

Answer:

A. supernatural characteristics
