The correct answer to how the writer uses context clues to indicate the meaning of earnest is C. The writer uses antonyms of earnest.

In this passage, when the writer says <em>"Unlike many of the candidates"</em>, he or she implies that<em> the following adjectives that refer to them would be opposed to what Melissa delivered in her speech.</em> The candidates <em>"seemed insincere and uncaring"</em>, while <em>"Melissa delivered her speech in earnest"</em>. Therefore, <em>"insincere and uncaring" would be antonyms of "earnest"</em>, allowing the reader to infer the meaning of earnest. So, the correct answer would be C. The writer uses antonyms of earnest.

The correct answer couldn't be <em>A. The writer uses synonyms of earnest </em>because of the word<em> "unlike"</em>, which conveys that <em>the following words are not similar to earnest</em>. On the contrary,<em> the writer uses antonyms</em> to give clues about the meaning of earnest. Hence, the correct answer couldn't be A. The writer uses synonyms of earnest.

The correct answer couldn't be <em>B. The writer creates a picture that helps the reader understand the word</em> because the <em>writer doesn't create any pictures</em> in this passage, he or she <em>only uses descriptions</em> to refer to the other candidates' speeches and Melissa's speech. Therefore, the correct answer couldn't be B. The writer creates a picture that helps the reader understand the word.

The correct answer couldn't be<em> D. The writer rephrases the meaning, so the reader can (...)</em> because <em>the writer doesn't rephrase the word earnest</em>; there is <em>no explanation about it or any kind of alternative expressions</em> or explanations that could allow the reader to infer its meaning. So, the correct answer couldn't be D. The writer rephrases the meaning, so the reader can (...).

It can be helpful to say introduce a speaker who has a very good education, who is very knowledgeable, very experienced, has excellent judgement and yet is modest for example and the above words could be used to praise him or her to give the  audience a good impression of the person.

your cousin, Li Ling, won some money in an art competition. read the email from her asking her opinion on how to spend it​
zysi [14]

The email will be about how to make judicious use of the money, invest some in her education, and avoid wastage of the money.

Dear Li,

How are you doing and how are you parents? I got your mail and I'm really glad that you won the competition. I'm proud of you.

You asked me to tell you how you'll spend it. That's very thoughtful of you. I'll advise that you keep half of the money in the bank. It's important to invest rather than spend the money.

Also, you should give the remaining half of the money to your parents. This can be used in supporting your education. It can also be used by them to provide necessary things that will be used at home. They will appreciate your kind gesture.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Your sincerely,

Bob.

Read the sentence below. Then choose the option that maintains parallel structure. Because she lost the invitation, Crystal was
KiRa [710]

The answer is D) what to wear.

Parallelism is a theme, because she used "where to go, when to leave, and..." instead of "where she would go, when she would leave, and..." then the answer is "what to wear".

Let's put the sentence together, "where to go, when to leave, and what to wear". THAT is a parallel sentence!

Now let's try what most would think the answer is which is, C) "what she should wear"... "Where to go, when to leave, and what she should wear", THIS is a normal sentence since the beginning is not the same as the end of the sentence.

That's why it's called parallelism, the beginning is the same as the end. It <em>Mirrors </em>the beginning.

Now if the sentence was, "where she would go, when she would leave, and..." then C would work.

"Where she would go, when she would leave, and what she should wear."

I hoped I helped! Everyone have a blessed day! <3
