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.

The answer is: syntax

Syntax is the organization of words and phrases to produce well-formed sentences in a language. In this case, the arrangement of words is incorrect mainly because in English syntax rules do not allow the definite article <em>the </em>to precede a single adjective like <em>cautious </em>or a verb, such as <em>barked</em>. Finally, adjectives must come before nouns; for example, <em>man</em>.

Which details best support the theme that oppression
katrin [286]

Answer:

- "This was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race."

- "... they were far better off than they had been in the days of Jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings."

Explanation:

1. This statement support the theme especially looking at the ending part which says, "they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race". We note that the perceived oppression they experienced prompted them to act, but despite acting they were still struggling with the alternative course of action.

2. The statement "they were far better off" indicates that they experienced oppression "in the days of Jones".

Thus, after their ordeal they were determined more than ever to avoid the alternative of not preventing the return of the human beings.

Which phrases indicate this passage is from an editorial? Check all that apply.
hram777 [196]

Answer: “handing them a death sentence”; “undermines our credibility as a humane country”; “would be a disgrace”

An editorial is an article written by the editorial board or publisher of a magazine or newspaper. It reflects the position the newspaper has on an issue. Therefore, it is often classified under the heading "Opinion."

The phrases 1, 4 and 5 express a personal opinion and are openly biased towards a position. This is typical in an editorial, as it represents the particular opinion of the newspaper. On the other hand, the rest of the sentences simply provide facts and explanations.
