Question

Read this sentence.
The delivery driver did not realize that there was a wrinkle in her planned route, until she found herself stuck behind a
massive traffic jam.
What is the connotative meaning of the word wrinkle as it is used in the sentence?
gap
trick
crease
problem

Answer 1

Answer:

Problem

Explanation:

"Problem" is the most logical answer here.

There was not a "trick" in her route, there was not a "crease" in her route. The word "crease" is thrown in here to get you to think of it as an adjective in the same vein of wrinkle, as in creases or wrinkles in clothing.

Gap is the next most likely answer, however in this context it would not make sense. A traffic jam does not create gaps in routes, it halts them! Thus, the answer would be "problem".
