Question
what is a words connotation? (1 point)
a word that has the same meaning
the literal meaning of the word
a comparison between two unlike words
the feeling the word gives the reader
Connotation refers to the emotional or cultural associations a word carries, which are separate from its literal (denotative) meaning. For example, the word "home" has a denotative meaning of a place of residence, but its connotation might be feelings of warmth, safety, and belonging. A word with the same meaning is a synonym. The literal meaning is denotation. A comparison between two unlike words could be a metaphor or simile. The feeling a word gives the reader aligns with connotation.
