The two options containing the connotative meanings of "sighing" are "relaxation" and "peacefulness," as stated in options C and E, and further explained below.

<h3>What is the definition of connotative meaning?</h3>

We can define connotative meaning as the meaning a word has in a certain context. That is, words can take on different meanings depending on the feelings and situations we associate with them.

The verb "to sigh" indicates the action of exhaling loudly, which is something we do when we are tired or sad, for example. However, as it is used in the poem, "sighing" assumes a different meaning - a connotative meaning.

In the poem, "sighing" is employed to convey an idea of peacefulness and relaxation. Although trees cannot sigh, the "sighing trees" mentioned in the poem create an image of stillness.

With the information above in mind, we can choose options C and E as the correct answers.

The complete question with the missing answer choices is the following:

Read the passage from “The Caged Bird.” The free bird thinks of another breeze and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn and he names the sky his own.

What are the connotative meanings of sighing, as used in the poem? Choose two answers.

  • longing
  • sadness
  • relaxation
  • exhaling
  • peacefulness
  • breathing
