are connotations an important consideration when we choose our words?
yes, because we should never use words that have connotations.
yes, because two terms that express the same concept might evoke different feelings.
no, unless we are writing poetry.

Explanation:

• Analyze the first option: Saying we should never use words with connotations is incorrect, as connotations are inherent to many words and can be useful.
• Analyze the second option: Connotations refer to the emotional or cultural associations of a word. Two terms with the same denotation (literal meaning) can have different connotations, evoking different feelings. So considering connotations is important when choosing words to convey the intended tone or emotion.
• Analyze the third option: Connotations matter in all forms of communication, not just poetry. So this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. Yes, because two terms that express the same concept might evoke different feelings.
