An old monkey on the point of death summoned his sons around him to give them some parting advice. He ordered them to bring in a

bundle of sticks, and said to his eldest son: "Break it." The son strained and strained, but with all his efforts was unable to break the sticks. The other sons also tried, but none of them was successful. "Untie the bundle," said the father, "and each of you take a stick." When they had done so, he called out to them: "Now, break," and each stick was easily broken. "You
see my meaning," said their father.

What was the father’s meaning? _______________________________

Answer:

He teaches them, though each can be overcome alone, they are invincible combined.

Explanation:

Having bound a bundle of sticks together (or in other accounts either spears or arrows), he asks his sons to break them. When they fail, he undoes the bundle and either breaks each stick singly or gets his sons to do so. In the same way he teaches them, though each can be overcome alone, they are invincible combined.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Connotation

Explanation:

When we talk about the meaning of a word, we can talk about its two aspects: denotation and connotation. Denotative meaning is the literal, basic meaning of the word. You will always encounter it in dictionaries when looking for what the word means. Though, there is another kind of meaning, the one we refer to as the connotative meaning. It includes emotions and associations connected to a certain word and is usually not a part of dictionary definitions.

Connotation can be positive, neutral, and negative. <em>Economical</em> and <em>stingy </em>have similar meanings: <em>careful not to waste money or resources</em>. The difference in connotation is present, as being economical is a positive trait, while stinginess is not, as a stingy person usually isn't simply careful about not unnecessarily spending but is very ungenerous and mean as well.
