Review the passage. Alan and Shivo had agreed to meet on Wednesday at the trailhead, but the deep snow made it impossible for Sh
ivo to make it to the rendezvous point on time. As he hunkered down for the night, he attempted to locate the food that he had hidden under some branches days before. Unfortunately, the cache seemed to have been raided by animals, and the food was gone. Which context clue is most helpful in determining the definition of the boldfaced term? Alan mentioned animals. They made the trailhead a place to meet. Shivo had hidden food under the branches for later. There was heavy snow.
Shivo had hidden food under the branches for later.
We're assuming here that cache is the bolded word. A cache is a hidden place where something is stored. In this case, the hidden thing being stored is food. The context clue should show that something is hidden, and that something is stored. None of the other options have anything to do with cache.
