Explanation:

Denotative meaning refers to the literal or dictionary - based meaning of a word. "Lackadaisical" is defined as lacking motivation or enthusiasm. Connotation is the emotional or cultural association of a word. Since "lackadaisical" has a negative connotation (as it implies a negative trait of being unmotivated), and the passage contrasts Monique (lackadaisical) with Josephine (energetic), the denotative meaning is "without motivation".

The denotative meaning of lackadaisical is "without motivation".
