In the sentence, the word "tent" has a connotative meaning. While it literally refers to a physical structure, it can evoke feelings of nostalgia, adventure, or a sense of a particular experience (such as a carnival or vacation) that goes beyond its basic definition. The other words tend to have more straightforward or neutral meanings.
