Incomplete question. The full question reads;

Use the context clues in each sentence to determine the best meaning for each bolded word or phrase.

"My father was proud that I chose his alma mater over the other schools."

A) course of study

B) former school

C) favorite place

Answer:

<u>B) former school</u>

Explanation:

The word 'alma mater' is actually a Latin phrase that is used to refer to a previously attended school or college.

Thus, if we were to replace the phrase alma mater in the above sentence it would read;

"My father was proud that I chose his former school over the other schools."

Complete the following paragraphs with the best transition words.
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The Beat generation of poetry flowed from another artistic movement, in the other words, that of the bebop movement in jazz music. Bebop was outside  the mainstream and first appreciated most fully in France rather than the U. S. Among its greatest ambassadors were saxophonist

Charlie "Bird Parker, trumpeters Dizzie Gillespie and Miles Davis, and the pianist Thelonious Monk. Monk, along with Gillespie, founded

the Minton Playhouse in the Harlem district of New York City.

Eventually, the venue became a gathering place for not only jazz

musicians, but also poets who were drawn to the freedom they heard in the music played there.

Nevertheless, Beat poets  sought to liberate poetry by bringing it back to the streets," sometimes reading their poetry to the accompaniment of bebop.

Explanation:

Transition words are words used in English to link words, phrases,  sentences, or one idea to the next.  Thus, they help to build up coherence between one sentence and another.

There are many transition words.  They include: Moreover, Therefore, In addition, Besides, etc.
