The term <em>denotation </em>refers to the specific meaning of a word, while the term <em>connotation</em> refers to the idea that the word invokes in a person.
Denotation and connotation must not be confused. Denotation is the primary or direct meaning of a word and connotation is its second meaning, that is to say, connotation is the idea implied by that word, which has not been made explicit as the primary meaning.
Most times, connotation is influenced by the cultural experiences of individuals and that is why some words have a more negative connotation than others. For example, telling a young girl that she has an "immature attitude" might sound more offensive than telling her that she has an "adolescent attitude" since the word "immature" invokes a bad feeling and; therefore, it has a negative connotation.

An alternative way to paraphrase the sentence given is:
<em>"The candidates debated if the current policies were appropriate due to changes in the economy, shifts in the population, and end of war.</em>
In this case, the use of parallel structures helps make the sentence more coherent by using the same grammar patterns. The grammar pattern is <em>noun+prepositional phrase</em>:
- Changes in economy
- Shifts in the population
- End of war
Answer:
There is a mistake with the use of signs in the sentence. The mistake in the sentence is that the sentence before "she said" and "he said" will be kept in a double comma, so the correct sentence will be
"You go inside and sit down", she said.
"No", he replied.
