a. True
b. False

Answer 1

It is false that the term connotation is used to describe the multiple meanings that can be attributed to a single word, and that denotation refers to the idea that context may be used to lend emotional weight to a word. It is quite the opposite, actually. 

Answer 2

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Denotation shows literal or dictionary meanings of a word.  

Connotation refers to a feeling suggested by a word, i.e some emotion that is implied rather than stated directly.

So it is the other way round:

The term denotation is used to describe the multiple meanings that can be attributed to a single word; connotation refers to the idea that context may be used to lend emotional weight to a word.
