    In the sample sentence, the word that has a connotative meaning rather than the denotative is the word transparent. Connotative meaning is the secondary meaning of the word which is an idea or a feeling that the word conveys. A denotative meaning is the literal or the dictionary meaning of the word. The word "transparent" here means that one's motive or feelings are easily perceived.
