The answer that best supports my understanding of the denotative meaning of a word is the last option - the denotative meaning of a word involves the actual, dictionary definition of a word.
The other options refer to the connotative, and not denotative meaning of a word.

The correct answer is - The denotative meaning of a word involves the actual, dictionary definition of a word.

A denotative meaning refers to the meaning of a word that you would read in a dictionary - what that word actually refers to. On the other hand, a connotative meaning has to do with your opinions, feelings, emotions which appear when you think about a particular word, so the other options actually refer to connotation, rather than denotation.

Identify each selected word or phrase as a sensory detail or a vivid verb. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the
4vir4ik [10]

This question is incomplete. Its full version is:

On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me.  

Which answer choice best describes the imagery in the excerpt?

  1. Sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of hearing.
  2. A metaphor creates a visual image for the reader.
  3. A simile creates a visual image for the reader.
  4. Sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of touch

Answer:

The right answer is option 4.

Explanation:

IMAGERY: it is figurative language used to represent objects, actions, and ideas in such a way that it appeals to our physical senses. E.g. Time is slipping through my fingers.

In this excerpt, taken from "The Story of My Life" by Helen Keller, the answer that best describes the imagery is option number four "sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of touch".

xz_007 [3.2K]
The correct answer for this would be the last option. Based on the excerpt from Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique, the one that contains underlined keywords that reflect mainstream society’s view of a woman’s role in the 1950s and ’60s would be this: <span>All they had to do was devote their lives from earliest girlhood to finding a husband and bearing children.
