Hello!
The connotative meaning of a word means the way that the word can be understood differently than its dictionary definition.
The denotative meaning of a word means the literal definition.
1) Cheap is rather connotative because when a person is said to be "cheap", it can mean that he/she is frugal. Inexpensive is much more literal, and it may refer to an item or service costing a small amount of money.
2) Skinny can be seen in either a negative or positive way, whereas slender is almost always used in a positive way and often refers to a person who is thin.
3) Stubborn can either refer to a strong-willed person or somebody who is headstrong and difficult to deal with. A more denotative meaning is persevering, which means when a person continues to move forward despite any failures he may have encountered in the past. Stubborn is seen in a more negative way and persevering is rather positive.
4) The word "aggressive" is often associated with malice. Assertive is used when referring to someone/something that is straightforward and candid.
5) Lazy is seen in a negative way and often refers to people/things that lack productiveness. Relaxed often means that a person is productive, yet unstressed.
I hope this answers your question!

Answer: A. True
Pejoration is the term given to the process of deterioration or at the stage of its worst while amelioration is the process of improving or making something better. Therefore, pejoration is the absolute opposite of amelioration. In linguistics, pejoration refers to the word/words that usually gain/s or receive/s negative connotations. On the other hand, the term amelioration is usually confused with the term to alleviate but it should be noted that amelioration means to improve while alleviate is to make a feeling bearable.
