In reading and comprehension, even if you don't know the definition of the word, you can still somehow get its meaning through context clues. From the word itself, context clues are hint words that tell you the context of what you're reading. In this example, the word is odious. Without looking at the dictionary, we might guess that it means something disgusting or offensive because the narrator refers to it with 'unutterable loathing'. From that expression, you get the context that he hates it so much down to his core that he can't wait to get away from it.  Therefore, the answer is letter C.

Goshia [24]

Awnser: Even though kingsolver’s essay addresses scientific information, her use of dialogue introduces different viewpoints which allows the reader to connect more deeply to the information. Readers relate to the dialogue which gives them a sense of familiarity. She uses an anecdote, which incorporates ideas of god and religious ideas. It advances her purpose because it provides a sense of relation to religion, an apparent concept that many practice. today.

Read the following student perspective and then choose your answer.
Anit [1.1K]

The closest approach is that <u>the student is qualifying the author's claim</u>. <em>Because it simplifies the author's argument with the example of cable TV channels and makes it clear that television affects Americans' lives when it comes to politics</em>. It is enough to see the number of networks devoted to political updates. <em>The student collaborated with new elements like a real example for reflection to prove the author's point of view.</em>

In what way is the character of Sir Gawain different from other epic heroes such as Beowulf?
BaLLatris [955]
There are a lot of differences between Sir Gawain and Beowulf.
1. Sir Gawain is a mere knight, and Beowulf is a prince.
2. Sir Gawain is from a Medieval tale, while Beowulf is from an Anglo-Saxon tale. 
3. <span>Sir Gawain humbles himself down and says he's feeble minded and of the least strength between all the knights, and he strongly desires to take the Green knight's challenge to avoid risking Arthur's life and put his less valuable one at stake. Beowulf is often praised for trying to pursue his own personal goals, and his strength and greatness are admirable as well.
