identify the type of context clue (CONTENTIOUS) used in statement
Answer:
Restatement/Synonym Clues
Explanation:
Context clues are unknown words in a text, where the reader can understand the meaning through the context of the sentence in which these words are inserted. With this, the reading time and motivation to read are optimized, because the reader does not need to stop reading to look for the meaning of the word.
The phrase shown in the question above uses the word "contentious" as a context clue. This is because through the context of the sentence we can see that this word means something contrary and challenging.
This type of context clue is called Restatement/Synonym Clues, because it uses an unknown word in a simple and easy way.

It says "my parents or my older sister". The last subject stated is "my older sister" which is singular. And the only choice that's singular is 'was'. So that should be the answer.
Answer:
I believe that youth sports have become too intense. Many kids today play extracurricular sports starting at a young age, exposing them to athletic injuries. Youth sports include soccer, basketball, lacrosse, and even wrestling. Those sports are only examples of the sports available to kids today. Sports can cause minor and major injuries, and although it is called "youth" sports, the rules are still the same. Competitiveness can lead to kids accidentally injuring each other. The intenseness of youth sports can also burn out the passion and motivation for the sport, as it is too stressful for some kids. In fact, 7 out of 10 kids who play organized sports quit by age 13, according to the National Alliance for Youth Sports. Youth sports have become too intense as it may be too stressful for children and can cause injuries.
