Synonyms help us connect unknown words with known words. For example, one may not know the meaning of the word "nefarious" when used in this context: "The offense was more nefarious than previously thought." If we replace "nefarious" with "evil" or "wretched" the meaning is more comprehensible to those who don't know the meaning of "nefarious": The offense was more evil (wretched) than previously thought." 
I hope this helps, I used nefarious as a somewhat uncommon term to better illustrate my point, and to explain why we use synonyms to learn new words. Simply put, synonyms bridge us to the unknown using the known as solid ground build from.

Which type of context clue helps you understand the meaning of the word repining?
Pie
I'd say that the type of context clue that helps you understand the meaning of the word repining is B. restatement.
If the word is in the middle of the poem, you wouldn't want an explanation or an example, but its synonym in order to understand what that particular word means. At least that is what I believe, I'm sorry if you get this answer wrong. :/
