The correct answer is B. Denotative

Explanation:

In language, the meaning or meanings of a word that is part of the dictionary are known as the denotative meaning. These meanings are considered "universal" because they are shared by all the speakers of a language. Additionally, the denotation of a word is the opposite to its connotation or connotative meaning, because the connotation refers to the ideas, images, etc. people have about a word that are the result of personal experiences or cultural context. Considering this, in the case of you friend as she is looking for the meaning of the word "white" in the dictionary instead of the ideas people have about this word, she is illustrating the denotative meaning or the meaning that has been agreed about the word "white".

At the end of chapter 10 how does Huck decide he will get information from town
inn [45]

Answer: Huck wonders about the dead man, but Jim warns that it’s bad luck to think about such things. Huck has already incurred bad luck, according to Jim, by finding and handling a snake’s shed skin. Sure enough, bad luck comes: as a joke, Huck puts a dead rattlesnake near Jim’s sleeping place, and its mate comes and bites Jim. Jim’s leg swells but gets better after several days. A while later, Huck decides to go ashore to get information. Jim agrees, but has Huck disguise himself as a girl, using one of the dresses they took from the houseboat. Huck practices his girl impersonation and then sets out for the Illinois shore. In a formerly abandoned shack, he finds a woman who looks about forty years old and appears to be a newcomer to the town. Huck is relieved because, as a newcomer, the woman will not be able to recognize him. Still, he resolves to remember that he is pretending to be a girl.
