Explanation:

1. For the first statement: The denotation of "newspaper" is its literal definition, which is a publication containing news on current events, so this matches the given statement.
2. For the second statement: The literal denotation of "argue" is to express conflicting views in a heated or serious way, not gentle family banter (that is a possible connotation in this context, not denotation).

Answer:

1. true
