1. The affix that can be added to the adjective “kind” to make it a noun is “-ness,” resulting in the noun "kindness."
2. Denotation is the literal meaning of a word—the specific, dictionary definition. Connotation, on the other hand, refers to the emotional or cultural associations that a word carries beyond its literal meaning. For example, "home" denotes a place where someone lives, but its connotation might include warmth, security, and comfort.
3. A synonym for the word “landfill” that might have a negative connotation is "dump." This term often suggests filth, disorganized waste, and environmental harm.
