Denotative definitions are also known as what dedinitions?

English

The denotative definition of a word is its literal meaning. This would be the meaning one would find in the dictionary.

By contrast, the connotative definition is the meaning associated with the word. It is the implied meaning of the word.

For example, the words in bold have the same denotation but different connotations:
-- a beautiful woman
-- a handsome woman
-- a pretty woman

While all these words mean the same thing, they do not have the same associations.

What Fear Can Teach Us commonlit answers ?
kifflom [539]

This is a TED talk given by Karem Thompson

Explanation:

In her speech she talks about how fear is connected with the stories we had read. She says, first, we have to acknowledge that fear is an entire system of the brain.

Yet today, when we do not have to fear a saber-toothed tiger behind every tree, we are still telling ourselves that a critical level of danger may be right around every corner.

Now our stress is social, ethical, and financial, but our brain elevates the challenges to that same fear center. We have difficult family situations that need attention, but we avoid wading in because we are imagining the worst possible outcome.

Which verb form correctly completes the sentence? Is the verb singular or plural?
sladkih [1.3K]
The batteries in our cell phones need to charge.  
The verb is singular since the noun used ‘batteries’ is plural.  
<span>Verbs are simply known as the ‘action’ words – may it be mental, physical or mechanical. When verbs are paired with auxiliaries (helping verbs), they are known as verb phrase. These helping verbs always go first before the actual verb. <span>Perfect tenses serves a portraying the verb or the action word as something that already happened or is completed, thus the term ‘perfect’. If it is present perfect tense, it means that the action was already done relatively to the present (has/have with past participle). If it is past perfect tense, action is already finished relatively to the past (had with past participle and if it is future perfect tense, action is complete relatively to the future (will have with past participle</span></span>
