Step-by-step explanation:

Denotation is characterized as the literal or surface meaning of the word. This meaning is quite clear and easily determined by the reader.

The word 'petulance' stands for 'childish impatience, rudeness, or sulkiness' which the author has used to display the 'moody depression' of her.

The word 'mundane' means 'something ordinary or practical' which shows that 'he never revealed his practical reality to her which is so ordinary.'

'Accentuated' denotes 'to give stress on something to make it more noticeable.' Here, it is used to depict that the 'white edging' of the dress was making her tan more prominent or noticeable.
