The correct answer is A. Antonyms

Explanation:

A context clue refers to a clue about the meaning of an unknown word commonly provided by the words that surround the unknown word or are close to it. Additionally, the type of context clue provided by words can be of different types as other words can work as synonyms, as descriptions or even as antonyms.

In the case of the sentence "Although Amelia was quite lithe, her sister was clumsy and awkward" the unknown word is "lithe" and this is mainly explained by the conjunction "Although " and "her sister was clumsy and awkward" that shows the word "lithe" is the opposite of "clumsy" and "awkward" and indeed "lithe" means agile. Therefore, the type of context clue in this sentence is antonyms as the words "clumsy" and "awkward" suggest the meaning of "lithe" as they tell the reader these words are the opposite of the unknown word.

Describe a city from the future 200-250 words
AlladinOne [14]

Explanation:

I would like to tell you about Tokyo, the city I want to live in the most in the future. It is the capital city of Japan and is the most populous metropolitan area in the world.

The most important reason I wish to settle down in Tokyo is the co-existence of modern and traditional values. It’s the kind of city where the red gates of a centuries-old Shinto shrine may well be found just next door to a glass skyscraper showcasing the finest 21st century technology. Or where a quiet green lane lined with wooden low-rise houses and an old school tofu shop might sit just a short stroll from a neon-lit square packed with flickering billboards and rainbow-bright street fashion.
