Both characters in <em>Emma</em> are presented by the author with the same sense a break from work is presented in real life.Austen depicts a life too hard for ladies of her time and in introducing humorous characters, she appears to be escaping, just for a while , from what she really wants to highlight.

Mr Elton is used by Jane Austen as a character who is handsome and available for marrying a girl belonging to the society, or so he thinks.He is convinced he can win Emma´s love but he is unable to get what he wants.He´s excellent at rhyming silly verses and has an incredible ability for creating riddles, all of what seems not enough for Emma.Heartbroken by her rejection it seems he will never recover until he finds a new wife ; Augusta.

  Augusta is in a good financial position and  has the luck of having a sister who has found a reputable husband.While still single, she wants to show refinement but in turn she is considered a bit ridiculous.She manages herself with overfamiliarity attitudes which disturb some of the well educated characters in the novel.Austen plays with her a lot and the best part of her game is the moment she marries Mr Elton .Two birds of a kind end up together.

Match each type of context clue with the correct sentence. The unknown word is underlined.
natali 33 [55]

Hi. You did not provide the phrases this question refers to. This makes it impossible for me to answer your question efficiently. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

Context clue is a literary device that allows the reader to understand the meaning of a difficult or unknown word through the context of the sentence where it is inserted or the context of the text itself.

This context clue will be called definition clue when the phrase presents the meaning of the word in its composition. Ex: Uma Haberdashery, which is a men's clothing store, opened next to my mother's restaurant.

The context clue will be called example clue when the phrase presents examples to explain the unknown word. Ex: My mother could not stand people who behave in an obsequious way, like my sister who was full of flattery in relation to her boss.

The context clue will be called synonym clue when the unknown word is explained subjunctively within the sentence. Ex: My mom was happy when the new haberdashery opened because she needed to buy a new suit for my dad.

The context clue will be called antonym clue when the meaning of an unknown word is determined by the presentation of another word or a clause that presents the opposite of that word. Ex: But my mom was sad that she couldn't buy women's clothes in this store, as it was a haberdashery.
