Question

read this excerpt from
ules of the game.\
\ai-ya. so shame be with mother?\ she grasped my hand even tighter as she glared at me.
what is the connotative meaning of the word glared?

○ looked in a way that suggests blame

○ looked in a way that suggests fear

○ stared in a way that suggests surprise

○ stared in a way that suggests disgust

Explanation:

The excerpt shows a mother reacting to shame being directed at her, gripping the narrator's hand tightly. "Glared" in this context carries a connotation of angry, reproachful looking. The phrase "So shame be with mother?" indicates she feels wronged or blamed, and her glare reflects blaming the narrator for the shame. Fear, surprise, and disgust do not align with the context of defensive anger over being shamed.

Answer:

looked in a way that suggests blame
