What are the options? I can make a guess by denotation means the literal or primary meaning of a word. Floundered in the context of this sentence means to struggle mentally, or show great confusion.

The options for this question are:

A) restored

B) struggled

C) succeeded

D) maintained

Answer: B) Struggled.

Explanation: The denotation of a word is the literal meaning, the one that we can find in a dictionary. It is the antonym of connotation which is the meaning given by the context of the word or even by the readers, based on their emotions or personal experiences. In the given sentence, the denotation of the word "floundered" is "struggled", "Mariah's voice shook and her hands fluttered as she struggled helplessly to answer the difficult questions Steven was asking her."

Soporific adj. (ˌsä-pə-ˈri-fik) causing a person to become sleepy Which sentence uses the definition of the word soporific given
Mekhanik [1.2K]

The second sentence uses the definition of the word.

Explanation :

In the second sentence the subject takes a medication that makes him/her "soporific", meaning it promprs him/her to sleep. Hence, the person has to avoid driving since it can be dangerous.  In the rest of the example there is no logical connection between the noun affected by "soporific" and the predicate: in all the other cases the effects stated are those of excitement, accelaration, and enhancement.
