This sentence has a literal, objective meaning, which every word describing the tree means what it means. So the description has a denotative meaning.

In the other hand, as a poetic device, the connotative meaning is used to amplify the meaning of words, making it subjective, which must be analyzed under the context of phrase (something behind the words). An example of a connotative meaning involving a tree:

"The sun shined very hot making it almost impossible for us to walk any longer at that moment; As we decided to take another path, we knew right away it was a good choice: from the distance a big tree seemed to give us a welcoming smile, and under it we sheltered to rest for a while, giving us the energy to continue our walk"

With the phrase "a welcoming smile" there is a subjective message personifying the tree with a human characteristic, describing it with something that the tree doesn't have, the ability to "smile"., which in the context means that the person found it very nice to have a tree near at that hard moment.

The correct answer is B. denotative meaning.

This is the descriptive meaning as used in a dictionary to present a tree, literally.

What do the advertisers want the audience to do?

kow [346]

What's the context? Like have you been given a piece of work to analyse? I can give basic generic answers:

•The advertiser's want the audience to be engaged and interested in the advertisement

•The images appeal to the audience because it allows them to view the product instead of being described as to what it looks like. Also depending on the quality of the photograph it could allow and influence the audience's opinion on said product

•The setting/background of the background appeals to the audience as it can be used to divert the audience's eyes and influence what they look at. For example if the background is very bright and colourful and busy then their eyes will naturally gravitate there. However if the background is plain white or black then the eyes will gravitate to whatever is going on in the foreground. Many company's such as apple use this approach.

•Colour and font are used to draw interest to the advertisement and make it more memorable to the audience as bright colours and funky fonts will stick in someone's mind. This is why when making notes for things like exams people are encouraged to highlight and write in different colours as colours help the brain to remember something much more than opposed to black and white.

•Persuasive techniques that could've been used:
-emotive language
-direct address(using the word "you" e.g. YOU could buy this burger)
-exaggeration
-rhetorical questions
-chatty style / speaking to the audience in a friendly way
-anecdote(stories used to illustrate a point)
-repetition
-statistics(8 in 10 women would recommend)

There once was a girl named Mary
Who looked like her pet named Gary

Just like Marys aunt Jess
They all were very scary

He loved to run through the park

And his dog would never bark
