Hello!

The denotation of a word is simply the definition of the word.
The connotation of a word is how people perceive it.

For the word cheap, the denotation would be the official definition (inexpensive). The connotation would be that a person is unwilling to pay a certain amount of money. This is a rather negative connotation since it is used to describe a negative trait.

I hope this helps answer your question! Have a great day!

Cheap has a negative connotation as if someone were to be cheap, they would not want to spend their money for any reason.

Frugal has a positive connotation meaning a person is responsible with their money and won't spend it on things that aren’t needed.

The correct option is C). Since. Since can be used as the concise alternative for the phrase: due to the fact that.

<h3>What other concise alternative can be used for the phrase: due to the fact that?</h3>

The phrase 'due to the fact that' can usually be replaced by the concise word "because".

For example- 'The picnic was cancelled due to the fact that it was raining.' Instead of using the complete phrase due to the fact that- it can be stated as 'The picnic was cancelled because it was raining.'
