Denotation,positive and negative connotations of pig (pls help me)​
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Denotation: The pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) is a non-ruminant, mammalian animal that is raised as a domestic animal or in a farm where its meat is exploited to make various products such as bacon, sausage, among others. The pig is a very intelligent animal and is constantly related to dirt because it is fed by the remains of organic products and the habit of sinking into the mud.

Positive connotation: The pig can be used as an adjective to represent an intelligent and vigorous person.

Negative connotation: The pig can be used as an objective to represent a greedy and filthy person.

Explanation:

Denotation refers to a word used to expose its literal meaning. In this way, when a text presents the pig as an animal, it is using the denotative form of the word.

The connotation, on the other hand, refers to the use of words in a figurative way, where they are used to represent something different from their real meaning. The connotation is positive when referring to something good and negative when referring to something bad. Thus, when the word "pig" is used to mean intelligence and vigor, it represents a positive connotation. When used to mean dirt and ambition, it represents a negative connotation.

Which sentence is written correctly in regards to parallel structure?A) Seamus liked doing almost any physical activity: hiking,
ivanzaharov [21]

The correct answer is A. Seamus liked doing almost any physical activity: hiking, surfing, biking, running, and even spelunking.  

Explanation:

In grammar, a parallel structure in one in which there is a repetition of a grammatical structure, this usually implies a list of elements are presented using the same structure and related to the rest of the sentence in the same way which creates a parallel relation between all the elements presented.

In the case of presented, a parallel structure implies all the elements of the list which are sport or activities are presented by using the same grammatical structure which can be done by presenting all the elements using gerunds (verbs ended in -ing) or an infinitive (preposition "to" followed by the verb). Considering this, the only option which follows a parallel structure is "Seamus liked doing almost any physical activity: hiking, surfing, biking, running, and even spelunking" because all the elements after the colon (:) are presented using gerund grammatical structure which creates a parallel relationship between all the elements.
