Breanna Parker · Answer 1

The correct option is the first one. Connotation is the emotion or idea that is associated with a word. Words can have either positive or negative connotations, meaning depends on the feelings that words evoke. The sky for instance apart from being the atmosphere above the earth can connote feelings of freedom, peace or the divine.
