To determine which word from the given options has the same denotative meaning but a different connotative meaning than the word "COPIOUS," you can analyze the connotations of each word.

The connotative meaning refers to the emotions, attitudes, or ideas associated with a particular word. Denotative meaning, on the other hand, refers to the dictionary definition or literal meaning of the word.

Analyzing the given options:
A. "meager" - The connotative meaning of "meager" is the opposite of "copious," suggesting a small or inadequate quantity. So, it does not have the same denotative meaning.
B. "abundant" - This word has the same denotative meaning as "copious" as both imply a large amount. However, the connotations may vary.
C. "lavish" - This word has the same denotative meaning as "copious" since it also implies an abundant or ample quantity. However, the connotations of "lavish" generally suggest extravagance or luxury, which differentiates it from "copious."
D. "sparse" - The connotative meaning of "sparse" is the opposite of "copious," implying very little or scarce. Therefore, it does not have the same denotative meaning.

From the given options, the word that has the same denotative meaning but a different connotative meaning than "copious" is option C: "lavish."

Regarding the correct completion of the sentence, "An award is given every year to the student ______ has the highest grade-point average."

The pronoun "whom" is used as an object pronoun, while the pronoun "who" is used as a subject pronoun. In this sentence, the word that correctly completes the sentence would be an object pronoun, since it is the object of the verb "has." Therefore, the correct completion is option A: "whom."

According to the analysis above, the correct answers are:
- C: lavish
- A: whom

Please note that the correct answers may vary depending on the context or specific style guidelines.
