Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The denotative meaning of a word is its literal or dictionary meaning, while the connotative meaning includes the emotions, associations, and cultural implications that the word carries. Option A and B are partially correct, as the denotative meaning can also be referred to as the objective meaning, but the second part of the options (connotative meaning as subjective) is incorrect.
