The sentence says that the French Bistro is usually unpretentious but faces a perception about eateries with "French" in their name.
The phrase "must connote something $\qquad$ " suggests a common positive stereotype or expectation about French restaurants.
Among the options:
- Positive, stylish, or sophisticated meanings:
- B. elegant
- E. chic
- F. ultramodern (less typical but still positive)
- Negative or neutral meanings:
- A. unrefined (negative)
- C. uncommon (neutral)
- D. modest (neutral)
Since the bistro faces a perception contrary to its modesty or unpretentiousness, the common perception likely sees French eateries as stylish or sophisticated.
Therefore, the two best answers are:
- B. elegant
- E. chic
