The denotative definition of a word is its literal meaning. This would be the meaning one would find in the dictionary.
By contrast, the connotative definition is the meaning associated with the word. It is the implied meaning of the word.
For example, the words in bold have the same denotation but different connotations:
-- a beautiful woman
-- a handsome woman
-- a pretty woman
While all these words mean the same thing, they do not have the same associations.

The controversy of women getting paid less than men was because people thought that women IS NOT the same as men. In the past, women were looked at as property or some fragile little thing that ONLY has the job of carrying children in the family and take care of the house. Also this depends on what timeline you are looking at, but women would often have less education compared to men simply because of their gender. Women are expected to be "proper" whereas men "manly."

The word, if used to replace "quiet," in the given sentence "Then the people went to their beds, and the camp was quiet." would give this sentence a more negative tone is (B) Stifled.
"Then the people went to their beds, and the camp was <u>stifled</u>."
<u>Explanation:</u>
The word "Quiet" literally denotes a place which is void of noise. Here, in the given sentence, when the people who used to camp went back to bed, one should expect a calm and a peaceful atmosphere. During the bed time, no one will make such loud noises which will distract the people in the environment as everyone tend to take rest during night. The word "Quiet" denotes that type of environment too.
The word "Silent" is similar in meaning to the word "Quiet" and it generates a positive tone too. The word "Still" denotes the environment which is undisturbed by any external factors. Hence, the word "Still" also projects the exact nature of the environment. If we use the word "Stifled" in the above sentence, it refers to the environment which is generally constrained from doing something i.e., enforcing an order to do something. Here, the word "Stifled" creates a negative tone when replaced in the given sentence.
