Question

what is the denotation of a word? its literal meaning its implied meaning its suggested feeling its symbolic feeling

Explanation:

Denotation refers to the literal or dictionary - defined meaning of a word. It is the straightforward, objective definition without any implied, suggested, or symbolic connotations. For example, the denotation of "dog" is a domesticated carnivorous mammal, which is its basic, literal meaning. The other options ("its implied meaning", "its suggested feeling", "its symbolic feeling") are related to connotation, not denotation. Connotation involves the emotional, cultural, or suggested meanings associated with a word.

Answer:

its literal meaning
