T/F? Your audience is more likely to agree on connotative definitions of a word than its denotative definition.

Answer:

False. In general, your audience is more likely to agree on the denotative (literal) definition of a word since it has an established and widely-accepted meaning. Connotative definitions, on the other hand, can vary from person to person based on individual experiences, emotions, and cultural backgrounds.
