read the excerpt from a speech on the benefits of eating organic versus conventionally grown foods. i want my food to be real food. i dont want my only option of nourishment to be chemicals disguised as food. chemicals that could one day poison my body and lead me down a path of obesity and disease. and i want organic options to be affordably priced so everyone can afford to eat healthy. i believe that these are attainable goals if more people see the value in organic food which words from the passage have negative connotations that support the author’s point? select three options. □ \affordably\ □ \chemicals\ □ \disease\ □ \obesity\ □ \attainable\

Explanation:

• "affordably" has a positive connotation related to reasonable pricing, so it's not negative.
• "chemicals" is used in the context of being disguised as food and potentially poisoning the body, so it has a negative connotation.
• "disease" is a negative term related to poor health, supporting the author's view against conventional foods (associated with disease).
• "obesity" is a negative health condition, also supporting the author's point about conventional foods leading to such issues.
• "attainable" has a positive connotation about goals being achievable.

Answer:

B. "chemicals", C. "disease", D. "obesity"
