Question

Read the following sentence:

The library has several meeting rooms that can be rented by clubs and community groups.
What is the denotative meaning of the word "club" as it is used in the sentence?
O a group of people brought together by a shared interest
an entertainment space with music and/or dancing
O a heavy length of wood used as a weapon
O a small circle of friends that shuns outsiders

Answer 1

The answer is sentence number 1.

Answer 2

I think it's answer no. 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If you substitute the word "club" with each of the definition, this is the one that makes the most sense because a group of people can rent the library. Also, it is the most common use of the word "club" in this context. Although a small group of friends could technichally also rent a library, it doesn't really have anything in common with a community group, whereas the 1st answer does.

Hope this helps
