Explicação

## Step 1The denotation of a word refers to the literal, dictionary definition of a word, devoid of any emotional or cultural associations. This is the primary meaning of a word, as opposed to its connotation, which includes the emotional or cultural associations that a word carries.## Step 2Given the options, we need to identify where one would most likely find the denotation of a word. The options are: "Denotation is impossible to determine", "In the context of a poem", "In the dictionary", and "In the tone of the poem".## Step 3The first option, "Denotation is impossible to determine", is incorrect because the denotation of a word is well-defined and can be determined.## Step 4The second and fourth options, "In the context of a poem" and "In the tone of the poem", are also incorrect. These options refer to the connotation of a word, which is the emotional or cultural associations that a word carries, not its literal definition.## Step 5The third option, "In the dictionary", is the correct answer. Dictionaries provide the denotations of words, which are the literal, dictionary definitions of the words.
