The word "discussion" could best replace the word "debate" in the sentence and the most positive connotation of  "discussion" is "conversation".

Connotation

Any given word or phrase contains a connotation in addition to its denotation, which is its explicit or literal meaning. A connotation is a generally accepted cultural or emotional relationship.

Regarding its pleasant or unpleasant emotional link, a connotation is typically classified as either positive or negative.

Strong-willed and pig-headed are two adjectives that can be used to describe someone who is stubborn; both have the same literal meaning (stubborn), but strong-willed conveys admiration for how strong someone's will is (a positive connotation), while pig-headed conveys frustration when dealing with someone (a negative connotation).

Connotation has a variety of meanings that branch out from one another. Connotation basically refers to how anything may be connected to a word or phrase, such as an implicit judgment, value, or emotion.

makkiz [27]

Answer:

It shows that Squeaky wants Raymond to also experience success.

Explanation:

According to a different source, the passage that should be included in this question is:

<em>"And I’m smiling to beat the band cause if I’ve lost this race, or if me and Gretchen tied, or even if I’ve won, I can always retire as a runner and begin a whole new career as a coach with Raymond as my champion. After all, with a little more study I can beat Cynthia and her phony self at the spelling bee. And if I bugged my mother, I could get piano lessons and become a star. And I have a big rep as the baddest thing around. And I’ve got a roomful of ribbons and medals and awards. But what has Raymond got to call his own?"</em>

In these lines, we learn that Squeaky does not deeply care about winning. Although she was absolutely determined to win before, taking a look at her brother allows her to reevaluate her skills and her running abilities. She realizes that she has a lot to be grateful for, and that winning is not the only thing that matters. Instead, she also cares about her brother Raymond and his success. This shows that she is a real champion, as she also cares about the feelings and experiences of other people.
