Question

the words determined andstubborn have a different *
claim
connotative meaning
counterclaim
credibility
denotative meaning

Explanation:

• Denotative meaning: Refers to the literal or dictionary - defined meaning. "Determined" and "stubborn" have similar denotative meanings (persistent in a course of action).
• Connotative meaning: Refers to the emotional or cultural associations. "Determined" has a positive connotation (persevering in a good cause), while "stubborn" has a negative connotation (unreasonably persistent).
• "Claim" is a statement of assertion.
• "Counterclaim" is a claim against a previous claim.
• "Credibility" is about believability.

Since the question is about the difference in the emotional/cultural associations (not the literal meaning), connotative meaning is the key.

Answer:

connotative meaning
