The denotative definition of a word is its literal meaning. This would be the meaning one would find in the dictionary.
By contrast, the connotative definition is the meaning associated with the word. It is the implied meaning of the word.
For example, the words in bold have the same denotation but different connotations:
-- a beautiful woman
-- a handsome woman
-- a pretty woman
While all these words mean the same thing, they do not have the same associations.

Answer:
The theme of this story is ( D) Not everything is as scary as it seems
Explanation:
We human beings have filled our lives with unnecessary tensions and fears.Some of our worries are genuine but most of them are not genuine.We have our own perceptions and viewpoints regarding different things..
If instead of facing the reality we try to fear than our problems will multiply,but if we become bold and face the problems strongly than the problem automatically vanishes.Like in a story of caterpillar and a hare ,the caterpillar was trying to scare the hare by taking the possession of hare's house .Caterpillar boomed out loudly to hare that "i am the one who crush the rhinos and tramples the elephants into dust".This voice scared the hare a lot.He thought caterpillar to be a huge animal.So hare got scared to enter it's own house.But at the end hare got to know it was only a caterpillar and he was unnecessary getting scared.
Same goes with our lives,it is not as complicated as we have made it by keeping thousand of worries and fears in our mind.We must try to overcome each and every fear by facing it,rather than running away from it.This is the only key to success.
