Answer 1

The answer would be D. a social, public perception

Answer 2

The best definition for "connotation" would be "a social, public perception" because, according to Merriam Webster dictionary, it is understood as an implication. It can be either positive or negative. It could not be a dictionary definition because the dictionary presents definitions as facts, the connotation of words is included but as a detailed information of the word in question.

Regarding "attribution", the best definition would be "giving credit to the original author or source". You could either refer to them by means or direct or indirect quotation as a long as you recognize that you are not the author.
