Question

PLSS QUICK

In the sentence below, are you using the denotative or the connotative meaning of the word cool:

Bob was the coolest kid in school

Answer 1

Connotative version!

Connotative normally applies something to another thing, such as a person, or an inanimate object.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

I would say the connotative meaning because the denotative meaning of the word cool is chilly, and cool in this sentence is not the literal meaning.
