Context clues are phrases or words that help you describe and illustrate a certain word in a phrase, sentence, clause or statement. This in turn guides readers to a certain plausible explanation of a unfamiliar and unrelatable conclusion and this can also reduce misconceptions and misinterpretations about a supposed phenomenon. <span>The context clues in the given options are : his lunch from his kitchen table.</span>

Answer:

1. When direct explanation of a word can be given.

3. When restatement by use of synonym can be used.

4. When a summary clue can give meaning.

5. When a general meaning will suffice.

7. When words in a series can clarify.

8. When personal experience clarifies the word.

Explanation:

Context clues is a technique that helps us infer the meaning of an unknown word by looking at the surrounding information of that word.

This technique can give us a general meaning of the word and should only be used when we do not need an exact meaning. Thus, this technique should not be used when the understanding of the passage depends on the definition of that unfamiliar word, when the same word is repeated several times and we don't have enough information to infer its meanings, and it should not be used when the word has several meanings because it can be confusing.

Which scenario is an example of a theme for a story
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Good always triumphs over evil in the end

Explanation:

According to the Dictionary of Literary Terms and Literary Theory, “the theme of a work is not its subject but rather its central idea, which may be stated directly or indirectly. For example, the theme of Othello is jealousy.”

There could be one or more themes in a story. To understand the idea, one could ask, what is the story trying to talk about, or what is/are the underlying message/s or concept/s or idea/s that is/are being put forward or portrayed through various characters and instances?

In light of this, let us examine each statement carefully.

<u>Dorothy is a dreamer who wants to see other places</u>

This statement essentially talks about the character, Dorothy, and not the idea of the story.  

<u>Bilbo goes on a journey and becomes a hero </u>

This statement talks about what happens with one of the characters of the text, or the story of the character, which is also not the theme, as it is hard to say what the central idea of the story could be.

<u>The story takes place in a dark, dense forest</u>

This is clearly the setting of the story, describing the location where the story unfolds.

<u>Good always triumphs over evil in the end</u>

This statement could be the central idea of a story, or its underlying message, and can be portrayed in numerous ways. Hence, this could be an example of a theme for a story.

<u><em>Note:</em></u><em> </em><em>However, it is important to note that the moral of the story isn’t necessarily its theme. The theme could very be any other idea regardless of whether that is also the moral of the story.</em>

Select the correct answer.
Amanda [17]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Applying this term to words, if you take someone's words at face value, you're not questioning their apparent worth. You're assuming that the words are worth what they appear to be. As a result, you don't question them or examine them closely to find any flaws, inaccuracies, or untruthful statements.
