In the context of the word "endangered" in a paragraph, the most appropriate meaning is denotative meaning. This is because "endangered" specifically refers to species at risk of extinction, which is its literal definition. If the context suggests a negative impact or serious concern about their survival, it could also be interpreted as having a negative connotative meaning, but generally, "den endangered" is understood in its denotative sense.
