The connotative meaning of a word is based on one’s emotional or personal reaction to a word true or false?

True.

Explanation:

The given statement asserts a true claim. The connotation is defined as the implied or suggested meaning of a word apart from its literal or surface meaning. It is primarily characterized as the individual's emotional or personal reaction evoked by a specific word or phrase on the basis of his/her cultural association. For example, if the author uses a word 'home', its literal meaning is 'one's dwelling place' but the possible connotations of the word would be 'a place full of affections, warmth, love, and security' as it evokes a personal attachment that one feels towards home. Thus, the assertion is true.
