Connotation refers to the feelings, ideas or the imaginative emotional associations with the word.

Denotation refers to the actual literal meaning of a word or its dictionary meaning. There are no feelings, ideas or emotions attached to the word, it just describes the direct meaning of the word.

Explanation:

1. Cheap/inexpensive:

Cheap is the connotative word meaning someone is behaving ‘cheap’ or frugal.

Inexpensive is the denotative word literally meaning that something that is less expensive or costs less.

2. Skinny/slender:

Skinny is connotative expressing someone who is very thin and looking unhealthy and with a poor physical appearance

Slender is denotative meaning that the person is looking slim and slender yet healthy and provides a positive outlook

Stubborn is connotative and means someone who is headstrong, strong-willed, tough, decisive, determined and cannot be manipulated.

Persevering is more denotative and means someone who is very patient and determined in the positive way and continuously tries for something until succeeding.

Read the paragraph.

Anna [14]

Answer:

The answer is third-person limited.

Explanation:

Let's discuss the terms first.

1. Third-person omniscient occurs when the narrator includes all the voices of all the characters in a story. That is, a story is told from different points of view. In this paragraph, we only know about Ben, what he does, sees, his boss.

2. First person and third person. The narrator uses the third person to talk about Ben but he neves uses the first person, i.e. I or we.

3. First person. The story is narrated by the character himself/herself. We know everything from his point of view. The use of "I" and "we" will appear this narrative.

4. Third person limited. This is the correct answer. The narrator presents one character and closely follows him: what he does, what he says, his feelings and thoughts. The characters are described using pronouns (he,she, they,etc). In this paragraph, the narrator includes Ben. He is described as being on a bench on his lunch break, watching the birds eat. He doesn't like being late. He is thinking about why his boss is never around. Every action revolves around Ben and you can find the proun "he" to describe him.
