Just as fires can be started by a spark, so can anything else be metaphorically started by a spark. A spark, therefore, figuratively means anything that sets off some reaction, or gets something going.

Which of the following can be read differently by different readers the literal meaning of a word or the figurative meanings of the same word?

Your question presupposes that there is one "literal meaning" to the word in question whereas there are a number of "figurative meanings". Where there are multiple meanings they can be read differently. It doesn't matter whether they are literal or figurative; it is quite possible for two literal meanings of the same word to be read differently. E.g. "I know the ship has a bow, but I don't know who it was that tied it."Figurative. ._.

Is Figurative meaning is the same thing as denotative meaning?

No, figurative meaning and denotative meaning are not the same. Denotative meaning refers to the literal, dictionary definition of a word, while figurative meaning involves the use of language in a way that implies something beyond the literal interpretation, often through metaphor, simile, or other rhetorical devices. Figurative language adds depth and emotion, conveying ideas in a more imaginative or symbolic manner.
