Which of the underlined words in the following passage relies on its connotation, rather than its denotation?

I have a really hard time trusting my roommate's brother Sal. Two years ago, Sal sold my friend Gene a pickup truck, and it turned out to be a real lemon. One of the wheels fell off before Gene even got home!




truck



lemon



brother

it should be lemon; since lemon can be used multiple ways you have to read around it to find the one used in this scenario
