Answer:

The denotation of a word gives the word's exact meaning, while the connotation of a word gives the word's emotional meaning.

Example:

Colors are a great example of connotative meaning and denotative meaning. For example, blue's denotative meaning is "of a color intermediate between green and violet, as of the sky or sea on a sunny day." But, blue's connotative meaning is sad or melancholy. You can say, "he is feeling blue", or "she looks blue" to express sadness.

Even though the word is written as "read" in both the present and the past, it is pronounced differently.

If it refers to the present it is read as /riːd/ whereas if it refers to the past it is read as /red/

Which of the following statements about Scout is true?
stepladder [879]
The correct answer should be "<span>Scout tells the story from her innocent, child-like point of view."

It is extremely important that she narrates in this way because her innocent view can objectively show how misplaced racism is because she as a child does not understand what the big deal is. She is aware of how the community feels about race, she just doesn't understand why it is so which is why her innocent child-like narration is very important for the readers.</span>
