The given statement asserts a true claim. The connotation is defined as the implied or suggested meaning of a word apart from its literal or surface meaning. It is primarily characterized as the individual's emotional or personal reaction evoked by a specific word or phrase on the basis of his/her cultural association. For example, if the author uses a word 'home', its literal meaning is 'one's dwelling place' but the possible connotations of the word would be 'a place full of affections, warmth, love, and security' as it evokes a personal attachment that one feels towards home. Thus, the assertion is true.
I believe chance because anyone can live as long as their body can keep them alive as long as they're in the right place at the right time, but we can't always know what that is. Anyone's fate is changed by the choices they make.
