PART Ⅱ FOCUS
Denotation and Connotation
Suggested answer to the question
If it is your teacher, most probably you will choose b, as the word portly has an
implication of a more or less dignified and imposing appearance(e.g. an elderly
gentleman, large and portly). However, if it is a doorkeeper, an amiable middle-aged
woman, you may choose the word plump as it implies a pleasing fullness of figure
(e.g. the plump goddesses of Renaissance paintings). From this exercise we can
conclude that words that share the same denotative meanings can be diverse in
their connotative meanings.
