Answer:

A. Everyone brings different experiences to the meaning of words.

Explanation:

Every word has a denotative meaning, which is the meaning you find in a dictionary. However, many words have also a <u>connotative meaning, which includes feelings, ideas, and emotions connected to that word</u>.  

<u>Words may have positive or negative connotation based on the social, cultural, and personal experiences of individuals. </u>For example, the words Slim and skinny both mean thin. Slim has positive connotation, but skinny has negative connotation.
