   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.

Pls, help!!!!<br><br> how can you use clues to determine the meaning of a word?
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Context clues (or as you said "clues") are when we are reading and the author helps to let us understand want it happening better by using actions, symbols,etc.

Explanation:

For example, examine this sentence and determine the meaning of "dubious":

"Although some believe in the existence of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and the existence of extraterrestrial life, more are dubious about these things."

When you examine the word "dubious" in the context of this sentence, you should be able to make some inferences and educated guesses about the meaning of the word "dubious". The meaning of this word is to be doubtful. This inference and educated guess can be arrived at by comprehending and understanding the context within which the word occurred. This sentence states that "some believe in the existence of unidentified flyer objects and the existence of extraterrestrial life" but still more are doubtful about these things. The word "although" in this sentence is also an important clue because it suggests that the opposite of "some believe" is "more are dubious" meaning more are doubtful.

Hey I'm sorry about that. My answer was taken down since I had a link in it. I hope this still helps.
