16. Which of these words has the same denotative meaning as, but a different connotative meaning than, the word copious.meager
abundant
lavish
sparse

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The correct answer is C. Lavish

Explanation:

The meaning or sense of words can be classified into denotative and connotative meaning. The denotative meaning refers to the literal meaning or the meaning in the dictionary that is the meaning agreed by the speakers of a language, this meaning is also classified as direct or explicit meaning. On the other hand, the connotative meaning or secondary meaning refers to the associations people do in relation to some word, which mainly depends on the contexts and personal experience of people and therefore, this meaning differs from the denotative meaning as it is not shared by all the speaker of a language but varies according to the cultural or emotional association of the speaker.

Considering this, in the case of the words "copious" and "lavish", the denotative meaning or the meaning in the dictionary for both of this words is something that is abundant or large in number or quantity, which means both words have the same denotative meaning. However, in the case of the connotative meaning or the associations people do, the word "copious" is related to positive abundance, but in the case of the word "lavish" this word is mainly related to something being extravagant or someone spending money in an abundant way, this means the connotative meaning or the associations with the words are different. Thus, the word that has the same denotative but a different connotative meaning than the word copious is lavish.
Answer 2
Answer: Since copious means the same as abundant or lavish, I would go with one of these two words, however, I am not sure which one
It is definitely not meager and sparse, because these words are quite the opposite.

My dear Rosy,

First of all, Happy New Year. I hope you are doing well and fine. I am also doing fine and managing alright.

I would like to let you know about the new resolutions that I have promised myself. And there are several, which I decided would be helpful for me to change.

First, I have decided that I would spend less time on social media and more time reading books. My screen time has resulted in health issues in me and I am determined to change that. Also, I would also register myself in some online courses, like seminars and conferences regarding poetry, literature, and writing courses.

Lastly, I have also decided to join yoga classes, volunteer at some NGOs, and help teach the village children too. This will help me use my time productively.

I realized I spend too much time doing nothing useful and so, have decided that I would now spend time doing things that help or benefit at least one person.

That's all for now. Hoping to hear back from you.

Take care and will talk to you soon.

Love,

Mandy

How does Leo Tolstoy contrast the characters of Gerasim and Ivan Ilyich in The Death of Ivan Ilyich?

Answers

Ivan Ilyich is the main character of the works "Death of Ivan Ilyich". He is not an unscrupulous villain, he is just a good professional in his field, and deservedly successful move on his career ladder. His main problem is that he believes it is necessary to avoid relationships with people, besides service relationship. But when he fell ill and knew that he is dying, he wants to be regretted by someone, that he had never done for the sake of others.I think that this is what distinguishes the main hero from Gerasim, who did not abandon the dying Ivan Ilyich and tried in every way to help him, in the hope that when he will be dying, someone will do the same for him.

The role of any type of modifier is to________.A initiate
B abbreviate
C describe
D connect

Answers

I suppose it's neither. However, your best choice would be 'describe' as the role of any modifier is to limit or to qualify the sense of another word, phrase or even clause. An "[army] vehicle" is a good example to express what a modifier/qualifier is.
