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.

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
