guided practice what are context clues A. a part of speech that describe a person,place,or thing B. words surrounding an unfamil

The answer is B. “Words surrounding an unfamiliar word that give hints about its meaning.”
Take for example the sentence, “She had done an exceptional job on her test, her parents were so proud.” If you’re unfamiliar with the word exceptional, you could use the surrounding words and phrases to get an idea. If the parents were proud, then it would be reasonable to conclude that exceptional means good or great.

any weakness to the townspeople. He had to be cruel and at the same time,
