Answer:

a. The connotative definition of the word snake : One who is untrustworthy or presents an unseen danger

b. The denotative definition of the word snake : A scaly, limbless, elongated, sometimes venomous reptile.

c. A sentence featuring the literal meaning of the word snake : Anita told everyone she would like a snake for her birthday

d. A sentence featuring a simile with the word snake : The kite string was wrapped around the branch like a snake

e. A sentence featuring a metaphor with the word snake : Todd was a snake in the grass waiting for a chance to strike

Slight Explanation:

For a, the meaning intended when you call someone is snake is that of which follows.

For b, a denotative meaning is its literal meaning. If you say "I don't like snakes" then you are probably referring to the actual animal and definition of snake.

For c, when Anita said she wants a snake. She probably didn't mean she wanted an untrustworthy person for her birthday

For d, it compares a snake to the kite, using the word like or as. In this case, using 'like'

For e, it compares Todd to a snake, but it doesn't include the word 'as' or 'like' in its comparison

Hope this helps and have a good day!! <33
