English
2 answers:
Jobisdone [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Denotation, according to the <em>Cambridge Dictionary</em>, is the <em>main meaning of a word</em>, not including the <em>feelings and ideas</em> that people may connect with the word.

Explanation:

Denotation is different from Connotation in the sense that the last one includes feelings or beliefs attached to the literal meaning (denotation). For example, the denotation of the word "rose" is "<em>a garden plant with thorns on its stems and pleasant-smelling flowers, or a flower from this plant</em>" (Cambridge dictionary), and a possible connotation may be "a symbol of passion, love or desire" (this is what a rose represents to lots of people)

Answer:

Escaped

Explanation:

In order to solve this question, you need to know the definitions of words you were given. When you aren't sure about what a word means, you can look it up in a dictionary - an alphabetically arranged listing of words that contains various information about them, such as their definitions, examples, origin, pronunciation, etc.

  • The definition of the word <em>confident </em>is: <em>feeling or showing confidence in oneself or one's abilities or qualities.</em>
  • The definition of <em>hunger </em>is:<em> a feeling of discomfort or weakness caused by a lack of food, coupled with the desire to eat.</em>
  • The definition of the verb <em>to escape</em> is: <em>to break free from confinement or control.</em>
  • The definition of <em>consolation </em>is: c<em>omfort received by a person after a loss or disappointment.</em>

Based on this information, we can conclude that the correct answer is <em>escaped</em>. If someone wants to escape the place where they live, they typically don't have any choice or control.
