Read the passage from A Raisin in the Sun.

WALTER (amiably, as he sits himself easily on a chair, leaning forward on his knees with interest and looking expectantly into the newcomer's face): What can we do for you, Mr. Lindner!

LINDNER (some minor shuffling of the hat and briefcase on his knees): Well—I am a representative of the Clybourne Park Improvement Association—

WALTER (pointing): Why don't you sit your things on the floor?

LINDNER: Oh—yes. Thank you. (He slides the briefcase and hat under the chair.) And as I was saying—I am from the Clybourne Park Improvement Association and we have had it brought to our attention at the last meeting that you people—or at least your mother—has bought a piece of residential property at—(He digs for the slip of paper again.)—four o six Clybourne Street . . .

WALTER: That's right. Care for something to drink? Ruth, get Mr. Lindner a beer.

LINDNER (upset for some reason): Oh—no, really. I mean thank you very much, but no thank you.

Which connotations are associated with the word representative as it is used in this passage? Select two options.

official

exceptional

authoritative

legislative

manipulative

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that, in this context, representative denotes authority, since a representative is someone that has been delegated authority and responsibility to perform an action, like Mr. Lindner, who represents the Clybourne Park Improvement Association Likewise, official is also a connotation associated with the word, since, as representative, Mr. Lindner has the legal authority to speak and act on behalf of an organization, hence the professionalism and the seriousness with which he addresses Walter - which impels him to even reject his invitation to drink.
