Answer 1

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

Denotation is the precise, literal definition of a word that might be found in a dictionary, while connotation refers to the wide array of positive and negative associations that most words naturally carry with them.

For example, the words "house" and "home" have the same denotation—a building where people live—but the word "home" has a connotation of warmth and family, while the word "house" does not.
