Question

what does denotation mean?
a. the literal, or real, meaning of what is being communicated
b. the meaning you get from looking at a visual, either in parts or as a whole

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "denotation", we analyze each option:

• Option A: Denotation is defined as the literal or dictionary - like, real meaning of a word, phrase, or what is being communicated. This matches the definition of denotation.
• Option B: This describes the process of interpreting a visual, which is not related to the concept of denotation.
• Option C: This refers to a persuasive visual argument, which has nothing to do with the meaning of denotation.
