Question: Which context clue is most helpful in determining the meaning of the underlined term?

''He worked <em><u>feverishly</u></em> for a little less than an hour, at the end of which he found he had solved every problem in every branch of higher mathematics that had ever puzzled either him or any of the great mathematicians of the land.''

<em>Options:</em>

  • Assume that feverishly is a synonym of problem.  
  • Assume that feverishly is an antonym of problem.
  • Consider how you would feel while doing math homework.
  • Consider how somebody would have to work to solve a huge number of math problems in an hour.

Answer: The correct answer is: <u>Consider how somebody would have to work to solve a huge number of math problems in an hour. </u>

Explanation: Feverishly is defined as doing something in a frenetically energetic, intense or excited manner. Context clues are hints given by the author in order to help define an unusual or difficult word. The context clue ''Consider how somebody would have to work to solve a huge number of math problems in an hour.'' helps us understand the intensity that someone would have to work in order to solve huge number of math problems and this gives us a hint of the definition of the word ''feverishly''.

What appeal does this excerpt use? “Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends. And so even thou
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The answer is pathos. Because its it full of emotion.

Below is a explanation, so I should'nt get reported...

Explanation:

Pathos constitutes an appeal to the emotions of an audience. It is a popular technique by orators and writers alike to connect with people on an emotional level, which is often far more moving than logic or reason.

And this is the most logical answer because if you read the paragraph about Martin Luther King Jr, and his speech "I have a dream" It is sad and emotional becuase his dream is to stop racism and to share the word that he is very hurt, and he wants everyone to treat diffrent colored people all the same. And its sad because he died because James Earl Ray shot MLKJ,  And its just sad that he belived and dream that black people would be treated right. And he was killed and people belive it was because he was a black.

So the best answer would be option b) pathos

hope this helps, brainliest would help me!
