Answer to Question 1

Denotation is the literal dictionary definition of a term. Connotation is a subjective, emotional meaning attached to a word. The denotative meaning of heap is a pile of some material. But connotatively, you might refer to your car as a heap--either affectionately or in a negative sense.
