Im desperate...please... if u see this pleas answer it correctally.... its really easy

Directions:

Re-read Annie Dillard's "Living Like Weasels," and find the following words in the essay:
giddy, plodding, utterance
Now, rewrite the original sentence where that word is found, then below the re-written sentence, write the denotation of the word. Feel free to use a dictionary.
Next, below the denotation, write three to four descriptors of the connotation of the word.
Then, explain if you think Dillard meant the connotative or denotative meaning of the word in this context, and why.
