Question
Use the paragraph to answer the question.
On the day they set out, she fixated on the sun hovering high in the sky. It blazed down on them, abusing their skin and reminding them that there was no shelter to be found. It taunted her, highlighting just how unfair the situation was.
But after two weeks on the road, she softened toward the elements. Now when the sun peeked from the horizon each morning, its kiss was familiar and desired. It reminded her just how far they had come.
How do the words kiss and desired share a similar denotation?

The correct response is:
Both words have meanings related to positive attention.
In the context of the paragraph, "kiss" conveys a sense of affection and warmth from the sun, while "desired" suggests a longing or appreciation for that warmth. Both words indicate a positive and welcoming attitude towards the sun as the character's perspective has changed over time.
