Kassandra Cain · Answer 2

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Gatekeeping means to filter information that will be published in any type of media, such as newspapers, webpages, blogs, or radio shows, as in the question. The intention is to accomplish what is expected by the audience.

On the other hand, connotation refers to add a second meaning to a word or a phrase, different from the words chosen. That's why A is correct.
