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.

Why does Percy have so much trouble deciding whether to stay year- round or go to seventh grade
Mashutka [201]
Percy has so much trouble deciding whether to stay year round or go to seventh grade. If he went to 7th grade he would be able to see his mom more often but if he decided to stay year round he would be able to interact with people just like him.

Barack speaks about his presidency, the future presidency and the way the United States made him better. He proves his points by backing it up with past events.

"Whether we have seen eye-to-eye or rarely agreed at all, my conversations with you, the American people — in living rooms and in schools; at farms and on factory floors; at diners and on distant military outposts — those conversations are what have kept me honest, and kept me inspired, and kept me going. And every day, I have learned from you. You made me a better president, and you made me a better man."
