Which of the following terms has a connotation that would best contribute to a professional tone? a. buyers b. consumers c. shoppers d. spenders

B.Consumers

Explanation:

Remember that the connotation of a word refers to it's implied meaning, the things it stands for other than it's literal one. Words have cultural and emotional assosiations or meanings related to them. In  this case the word "consumers" is used in the professional or academic fields. For example, if we look up the word "shopper" in the dictionary it says "a person who is shopping". If we look up "consumer" it says "a person who purchases goods and services for personal use". Basically they refer to the same thing, but one implies a more profound knowledge of economics and the market, the other is used in a day-to-day context.

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.
