The correct answer is False

Explanation:

The use of context clues in reading refers to using the context in which a word appears to try to determine the meaning of it when you do not know the word or are not sure about it. Although this is one of the most common methods use to know unfamiliar words, the author of the text needs to provide enough information about the meaning of the unknown word such as defining it with other words, providing an antonym/synonym, giving an example, etc. which in some cases does not happen and without enough information or context clues you will have to use the dictionary or other methods. This implies context clues do not always replace using the dictionary as in some cases there are not enough context clues to understand a word and therefore you should use the dictionary.

Why you like stomy weather in paragraph​
Gemiola [76]
Stormy weather has always brought great calmness in my life. When it’s storming, the sky is dim but not eerie. It’s the best time to take a seat and read a book. The constant sound of raindrops on my window helps me to sleep deeply and wake up in the morning feeling refreshed ever. In conclusion, stormy weather brings joy to me by helping me sit back and relax.

What do the veils in "Lost llusions" symbolize?
stepan [7]

Answer:

The veils in “Lost Illusions” symbolize innocence and ignorance. The narrator of the poem describes the veils as being part of her “far away youth,” suggesting that now she is older and wiser. However, aging has only made her yearn to reclaim the ignorance of her youth, for with wisdom has come sadness and harsh realities.
