Denotation is defined as **the literal meaning of a word**. It refers to the explicit, dictionary definition of a term, without any emotional or associative meanings. The other options you provided pertain to different literary concepts:
- **The atmosphere or emotional quality of a text** refers to the mood or tone created by the words and content.
- **The association attached to a word** refers to connotation, which encompasses the emotions or ideas that a word invokes beyond its literal definition.
- **The author's attitude towards events and characters** refers to the author's tone or perspective.
So, the correct definition of denotation is the literal meaning of a word.
- **The atmosphere or emotional quality of a text** refers to the mood or tone created by the words and content.
- **The association attached to a word** refers to connotation, which encompasses the emotions or ideas that a word invokes beyond its literal definition.
- **The author's attitude towards events and characters** refers to the author's tone or perspective.
So, the correct definition of denotation is the literal meaning of a word.
