Part 1: Connotation & Denotation Question

To change "egotistical" (which has a negative connotation, meaning overly self - centered) to a word with positive connotation, we analyze the options. "Arrogant" also has a negative connotation (being overly proud and looking down on others). "Confident" has a positive connotation, meaning having trust in one's own abilities or qualities. So we choose "confident" to replace "egotistical" to give a positive connotation.

b. confident
