"It was supposed to be a secret, but it seemed like everyone knew it." I told my mom as she put the dinner plates on the table. She had just arrived from work and I was already complaining because the surprise party I was preparing for my sisters had been a fiasco, since it seemed that information had leaked and my sisters already knew everything. My mother was the main suspect and having betrayed my secret, since I basically just told my plans to her and my school friends.
I was very upset, because I had tried so hard to surprise my sisters and I was very sad about the situation. My mom said she hadn't told them anything, which made me sad and confused.
I didn't know if I should continue with the preparations for the party, but I decided to continue, because my sisters deserve it, even if this is no longer a surprise.
After several days of being upset, I found out that my sisters had heard me on the phone inviting my friends to the party and that's how they found out.
Although the surprise was a failure, the party was a success and my sisters were very happy and so was I. In the end that's what matters to me.
Reread the last stanza from “Sympathy.” Analyze the nuances in the meaning of words with similar denotations. Then answer the follow-up questions.
I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,—
When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings —
I know why the caged bird sings!
CA-CCSS: CA.L.9-10.5bCA.RL.9-10.4
Part A
What is the connotation of the word “plea” as it is used in this stanza?
It connotes a request.
It connotes a desperate appeal.
It connotes an excuse.
It connotes an urgent demand.
Part B
Which sentence or phrase from the stanza supports your answer to Part A?
“a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core”
“upward to Heaven he flings”
“a carol of joy or glee”
“he would be free”
I WILL NAME BRAINLIEST PLEASE HURRY
Part A: It connotes a desperate appeal.
Part B: "a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core"
Explanation: Much like a prayer, a plea can be a deep and desperate call for help. An "urgent demand" would be similar in the sense that the caged bird is desperate, but one who cries for help is not in the position to be demanding, but praying.
What is denotation?Denotation is the literal meaning, or "dictionary definition," of a word. Denotation is defined in contrast to connotation, which is the array of emotions and ideas suggested by a word in addition to its dictionary definition.
How denotation is different from connotation?Connotation and denotation are easily confused, and the fact that neither word is particularly common in everyday use makes it difficult for many people to get a firm grip on the difference between them. While each of these two words has several possible meanings, they are notably distinct from each other in all senses. Denotation is concerned with explicit meaning, and connotation tends to be concerned with implicit meaning.

Rewrite the sentences. Add un or re to the underlined words.
Namita told the story in her own way.
Answer:
Namita retold the story in her own way.
Explanation:
Prefixes and suffixes are words that we add before and after a word to make a new word with a new meaning. Depending on their need to be used in a sentence, we can use prefixes or suffixes to change a sentence.
In the given sentence "Namita told the story in her own way", we can add the prefix "re-" to change the sentence. So, if we write it as "Namita retold the story in her own way", then we meant to say that Namita told the story again and in a different manner.
And using the word "retold", we are changing the verb "retell" to the past participle form.
Thus, the correct and new way to write the sentence is-
Namita retold the story in her own way.
