Well, denotative meaning refers to the literal meaning of a word. So, I guess the correct answer would be <span><u>long cracks in the surface of the earth</u>, because that is the definition of the word fault lines. The other options are too metaphorical, and would thus be considered to be a connotative, rather than denotative meaning.</span>

long cracks in the surface of the earth

The denotative meaning of a word or phrase is the dictionary definition. The dictionary defines fault lines as long cracks in the surface of the earth. They usually occur along the edge of the earth's plates. The connotative meaning of a word is it's inferred meaning. Many times it is created through metaphorical or symbolic meaning. The rest of the definitions are all connotative and help to convey the idea that there is a defining line or major disconnect between things.

Read the excerpt from Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.
anastassius [24]

He is wealthy enough to live in West Egg but not wealthy enough to rent a very nice place.

Nick describes his place as "an eyesore". This detail shows us that the place he's renting is not nice in comparison to the other homes in West Egg. We also know that he must have some wealth in order to afford to pay eighty dollars a month during this time period. From this excerpt, there is no indication that Nick's choice to live in the small house is temporary or that he seems desperate to become part of the elite society. He may be impressed by material wealth because he describes the proximity of the millionaires as "consoling", so option A is also not a good choice.
