Answer:
In this excerpt from Harper Lee’s ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ the word that has a connotative rather than a denotative meaning is killed. Denoting means referring to something specifically. The denotative meaning of a word is the literal meaning. Connoting refers to an idea or a feeling added to the literal meaning. The connotative meaning of a word refers to images, feelings etc. that comes to the mind in addition to the dictionary meaning. Based on this analysis, the word "killed" has a connotative meaning in this excerpt.
