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."

The slippery slimy snake slithered into the room.
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

To offer a description of the snake

Explanation:

The adjectives “slippery” and “slimy” are alliteration. Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words, so in this case we have “slippery” and “slimy”, with the repetition of the “s” consonant sound. Therefore the alliteration “slippery, slimy” is describing the snake.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The <u>first passage</u> represents nature as something wild and dangerous, by describing the yucca tree with some risky, violent and dangerous words, which are used to warn us about this plant and its characteristics.

On the other hand, the <u>second passage</u> represents nature as something soft, calm, and beautiful, by describing daffodils. Daffodils are represented as something delicate and beautiful, so the vision of nature is quite different from the first passage. In this case, nature is described as something soft and wonderful, completely different from <em>bayonet-pointed leaves</em> and a <em>fence of daggers</em>.
