The correct answers are the following:

Fact: neutral denotation

Happiness: positive connotation

Home: positive connotation

House: neutral denotation

Rose: positive connotation

Vegetation: neutral denotation

Word connotation refers to the feelings associated to a word. When word connotation is positive, it arouses pleasant emotions in the mind. On the other hand, if denotation is neutral it makes reference to the literal or primary meaning of a word, in contrast to the feelings and ideas that it conveys.

Select the correct text in the passage.
zvonat [6]

The two excerpts that best reflect Gregor's isolated condition after his transformation are:

1. He got into the habit of closely watching it for one or two hours before it was opened and then, lying in the darkness of his room where he could not be seen from the living room, he could watch the family in the light of the dinner table and listen to their conversation—with everyone's permission, in a way, and thus quite differently from before.

2. Gregor never responded to being spoken to in that way, but just remained where he was without moving as if the door had never even been opened. If only they had told this charwoman to clean up his room every day instead of letting her disturb him for no reason whenever she felt like it!

The excerpts are taken from 'The Metamorphosis' by Franz Kafka. The above two excerpts reflect how Gregor's isolated condition was after he transformed.

For instance, he used to spend time in his dark room, watching things for hours without him being watched by anyone else. Also, he never liked communicating with any of his family members.

In his 2012 State of the Union Address, President Barack Obama said:
wolverine [178]
When Obama says " Last year, we relied less on foreign oil, than in any of the past sixteen years" he is using persuasion. He is persuading the listener by appealing to their sense of being independent from having to get oil from some of the foreign countries that we were at war with. When he states "A strategy that's cleaner" he is appeasing the people who are environmentalists and who want to do what they can for the planet. He also manages to intrigue the common working man by stating that the country will be "full of new jobs."

_______________ is the process of creating meaning through observations and interpretations.
dolphi86 [110]

B. Communication is the process of creating meaning through observations and interpretations.

The act of communicating implies a procedure in which there is reciprocity of information among two persons. Such procedure is carried out through the use of a shared system of signs, symbols, or behavior. If this process is effective, the two sides achieve a shared understanding, thus creating a common meaning.
