Question

What type of context clue would help someone determine the meaning of \"resigned\" in this statement from \"Anti-Federalist Paper No. 84\"?. Others are not necessary to be resigned in order to attain the end for which government is instituted; these therefore ought not to be given up. . . . a. Definition . . b. Contrast . . c. Restatement . . d. None of the above

Answer 1

Others are not necessary to be resigned in order to attain the end for which government is instituted; these therefore ought not to be given up.

The type of context clue in this phrase is RESTATEMENT. 
Restatement or synonym context clue is using other words that have the same meaning.

resigned is synonymous to given up, which means to quit.

Answer 2

Interpreting the sentence we can say that the resigning of the individuals shows that it is not necessary. It is not the definition of resigning. There is no contrast, as well. This sentence just shows the restatement of the given idea. Restatement is saying something in a different way in which the author uses it here for the word "resigning".
