Denotation and Connotation

Question 5 • AISD ELAR 6 Summer Academy 2026

Choose the meaning that gives a denotation of the word “house.”

Answer
A
a structure that is built from steel
B
a structure that is small and cute
C
a structure that is large and fancy
D
a structure that is lived in by people

Explanation

A denotation is the word’s direct, literal meaning. A house is a structure where people live, so “a structure that is lived in by people” gives its denotation. Being made of steel, small and cute, or large and fancy describes only certain houses, not what the word means in general.
