A. They tie empty barrels to the animals so they can float to the shore.
I remember in the movie, the pig, snorting loudly, swimming towards shore with a barrel tied around him. Lol luv that part!!! (:
The answer is connotative, so choice A.
The reason why is because the denotative definition is "a place where you live, reside" which is the literal definition of "home". This is the definition you'd find in the dictionary. Whereas the definition of "warmth, comfort and affection" is an emotional connection often placed on the word "home".
C. details. While everything else is also important, you need details to make the writing more than just a summary.
