English
1 answer:
RSB [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

denotative meanings of a word are the simplest definition of it,

while connotative meanings are more detailed and described with the feelings and emotions linked with that certain word. The meaning has a more personal and cultural point to it rather than just the basic meaning.

connotative words allow the readers/listeners to feel and picture what the speaker is trying to convey.

for example:

"Clique,"  means a group of people (denotative meaning), but it carries a negative connotation. This is because "clique" is typically used in circumstances where the group is known for excluding other people.(connotative meaning)

Likewise, "club" also refers to a group of people (denotative meaning), but this word has a more positive connotation because a club is a collection of people that voluntarily come together for a shared passion or purpose.(connotative meaning)

Which question most likely will follow this article?
MissTica

The question that is most likely to follow this article is How is the European Union helping end antiziganism? (option a).

<h3>What is the article about?</h3>

The article talks mainly about the origin and development of the Romani culture and its importance in European and North American society through time and the challenges they have had to face as a community.

In the final part of the text he talks about the measures that the European Union has taken to avoid discrimination against this community and its purpose to guarantee their rights. Therefore, the correct answer is A.

Note: This question is incomplete because there is some information missing. Here is the information:

A. How is the European Union helping end antiziganism?

B. Why are the Romani descended from Egyptians?

C. What are the Roma words for "Hello" and "Goodbye"?

D. How do gypsy fortune tellers read the future?

Here's the article:

The Romani

The Romani, as they prefer to be called, are a diverse ethnic group spread throughout Europe and now North America. Some people call them “gypsies,” but that term is generally considered to be politically incorrect. Members of the Roma ethnic group enjoy a rich history and deep culture dating back thousands of years. They speak their own language, although they learn the languages ​​of their native countries as well. The Roma culture is traditionally nomadic, but following World War II, most Romani have settled down and become a part of their local communities.

Because other cultures have long seen the Romani as outsiders, the Romani people have been treated as second-class citizens as far back as the Middle Ages. During the Renaissance, they have been incorrectly thought to be witches and thieves, misconceptions that continue even to modern day. In the past, Romani have been banned by kings or forced to live in ghettos. They suffered at the hands of the Third Reich during the Holocaust, and more than a million were murdered in concentration camps.

In the past, the Romani migrated with other European groups west across Europe and then into North America. Wherever European cultures have gone, the Romani have gone as well. Today, they come from a variety of backgrounds. Because of “antiziganism,” or the persecution of Roma culture, Romani often struggle in lower class neighborhoods and are sometimes monitored by law enforcement agencies because of the belief the Romani are thieves. In other countries, Romani enjoy comfortable, middle-class lifestyles free from persecution. As the European Union grows closer together, rights and privileges for Rome are improving.
