When choosing the best word to convey your intended meaning, consider a word's denotation and connotation. Denotation is the literal meaning of a word. Connotation is the feeling or idea that goes along with a word. Together, they affect how a word should be used.

For example, the words frugal and miserly both indicate a reluctance to spend money, but they are appropriate in different contexts:

✅ I really admire how frugal Marcus is when it comes to making new purchases.
Frugal suggests that a person is careful with money, so it helps express why Marcus is admired.

❌ I really admire how miserly Marcus is when it comes to making new purchases.
Miserly suggests that a person is cheap or stingy. It's a poor word choice to express admiration.

>>> Complete the sentence with the word that best fits the overall meaning and tone.
