The unfamiliar words you may find in the text are "doublet," "azure" and "chiseled." You can use context clues or a dictionary as a strategy to understand them.

<h3>Why is using context clues more efficient than using a dictionary?</h3>
  • Because context clues don't get in the way of reading.
  • Because context clues promote text interpretation.
  • Because context clues optimize reading.
  • Because context clues consider the figurative meanings that a word can convey.

Although the use of dictionaries is very efficient for the reader to understand the meaning of unknown words, its use breaks the reading rhythm, as the reader has to stop reading to look for the word. Furthermore, the dictionary only considers the literal meaning of words, ignoring their use in connotative meanings.

Context clues, on the other hand, consider the general meaning of the sentence and the way in which the unknown word is able to integrate into that meaning without compromising the text.

Read the excerpt from Into the Unknown by Stewart Ross.
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

An illustration of Ma Robert

Explanation:

Ma Robert (meaning: <em>Robert's mom</em>) was the steamboat used by David Livingstone, a Scottish physician and missionary. It was named in honor of his wife Mary and son Robert.

The given excerpt tells us about the steamboat and its numerous flaws. The text feature that would best support these details is an illustration of Ma Robert.

The man mentioned in this passage is named David Livingstone, not Charles. The fact that a wrong name is mentioned doesn't matter, because a photo of Livingstone wouldn't be fitting either way. This passage is not about him. The same goes for the map of the African continent. The steamboat was used for expeditions on its territory, but that is not the main point. A chart of many uses of steam is also not right, because it can be applied to many things, not just this boat.

This is why an illustration of Ma Robert, like the one pictured below, would be the best feature.
