Can you think of a time when the connotation of a word (or words) you used was interpreted with the wrong denotation or connotation, or when you misinterpreted a word`s connotation or denotation? Explain what happened and how you dealt with the confusion.
Answer:
Such confusion happened when I used the word frugal to describe myself.
Explanation:
When describing myself to a friend, I mentioned that I am frugal with the way I manage funds. The friend interpreted that to mean that I was a stingy person. For that reason, she refused to beg me for financial help when she had a need.
I dealt with the confusion by showing her the dictionary meaning of the word which is, sparing or economical as regards money or food. I further explained to her that being frugal did not mean that I was not generous, rather, it implied that I made careful thought over my finances and planned for it. She understood my explanation, and she ensured to inform me well ahead of time when she had a need.
Excerpt from Book of Etiquette
Lillian Eichler
Various foods are eaten with the fingers instead of fork or spoon. Bread, for instance, is never cut but always broken into small pieces and lifted to the mouth with the fingers. Butter is seldom provided at the formal dinner, but if it is, each little piece of bread is buttered individually just before it is eaten. Crackers and cake are eaten in the same way; although some cakes and pastries are eaten with the fork. Those that can be eaten daintily with the fingers such as macaroons, lady-fingers, cookies, etc., should be eaten so while layer cake and elaborate pastries should be eaten with the fork.

Shedding Light on a Dark Day, by Robin Meriwether
On May 19, 1780, the skies over New England turned dark in the middle of the day. For more than two hundred years, New England's Dark Day had been shrouded in mystery. Some blamed volcanoes. Some suggested supernatural events. Some claimed it was a sign from the heavens. No one knew for certain what happened. Many thought the mystery would never be solved.
Researchers at the University of Missouri were fascinated by the case. They began examining trees in all surrounding areas. Fire damage in a Canadian forest finally revealed the truth. Scientists looked at burned tree rings and discovered that huge wildfires once raged in the mountains near Ontario. The savage flames created blankets of black smoke. The smoke traveled high into the atmosphere, darkening the New England skies hundreds of miles away.
A student attempting to identify the main idea of paragraph two wrote the following sentence:

Read this excerpt from Anne Frank Remembered.
That day I walked to Gestapo headquarters. The red-and-black swastika flew from the flagpole. Uniformed Germans were everywhere. It was a well-known fact that people who entered this building did not always leave it again. I entered the building and inquired of the soldiers on guard where this Austrian had his office.
I was told which office, and went directly there. It was a medium-sized room, filled with desks, all occupied by workers who were busily typing. The Austrian's desk was in the corner of the room. He sat behind it facing me when I entered. His name was Karl Silberbauer.
I went up to his desk and stood with my back to the typists. I'd been thrown off by the fact that he wasn't alone, so all I did was stand there, briefly looking into his eyes. Any spoken words would have been audible throughout the room, so I just stood and didn't say a word. All I did was rub my thumb against the two fingers beside it, the index finger and the middle finger – the sign for money.
Why does Miep choose to visit Gestapo headquarters?
She is no longer afraid of the Germans.
She seeks a friendship with the Austrian.
She believes the Austrian owes her money.
She is desperate to find help for her friends.

Formulating a Hypothesis
Write a hypothesis about the effect of the racetrack’s height on the speed of the car using the format of "if…then…because….” Be sure to answer the lesson question "How can motion be described?” in your own words
Answer:
Sample Response: If the starting height of a sloped racetrack is increased, then the speed at which a toy car travels along the track will increase because the toy car will have a greater acceleration.
Explanation:
The effect of the racetrack's height on the speed of the car is If the height of a sloped racetrack is increased, the speed at which a toy car travels along the track will increase due to greater acceleration.
How is speed related to height?Height is directly proportional to the square of the velocity. If height is increased, then the final velocity of the moving object.
An example is When a ball is dropped from the top of a building, it accelerates as it falls. It accelerates by 10 m/s every second.
Thus, the effect of the racetrack's height on the speed of the car is If the height of a sloped racetrack is increased, the speed at which a toy car travels along the track will increase due to greater acceleration.
