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.

In 1912, Governor Wilson of New Jersey was elected president in a landslide Democratic victory over Republican incumbent William Howard Taft and Progressive Party candidate Theodore Roosevelt. The focal point of President Wilson’s first term in office was the outbreak of World War I and his efforts to find a peaceful end to the conflict while maintaining U.S. neutrality. In 1916, he was narrowly reelected president at the end of a close race against Charles Evans Hughes, his Republican challenger.
In 1917, the renewal of German submarine warfare against neutral American ships, and the “Zimmerman Note,” which revealed a secret alliance proposal by Germany to Mexico, forced Wilson to push for America’s entry into the war.
The correct answer is “Nothing could be further from the truth!”
Explanation:
The main feature of irony is that it shows contradiction or opposition between expectations and reality. An example of this in the excerpt from Animal farm is the fact other animals believe Napoleon and his friends are starting a rebellion in other farms, which is explained as "attempting to stir up rebellion" but this is not real or contradicts reality "Nothing could be further from the truth" because the main objective of Napoleon is to control the farm but he does not care about other farms. This shows a funny contradiction between the expectations of animals and the real intention of Napoleon.
