Question

is the underlined word used denotatively or connotatively? that girl is immature and impossible to be around because she is always goofing around and is a huge disruption in class. denotatively connotatively both

Explanation:

To determine if "immature" is used denotatively or connotatively, we analyze:

• Denotative meaning: The literal, dictionary definition (e.g., "not fully developed" or "lacking maturity").
• Connotative meaning: An implied or emotional association (often negative/positive).

In the sentence, "immature" is used with negative connotations (linked to being a disruption, "goofing around") rather than just the literal definition. It carries a judgmental, emotional tone beyond the dictionary meaning. Thus, it is used connotatively.

Answer:

B. connotatively
