Drag each tile to the correct box. Which type of context clue will help define each underlined word? definition clue synonym clu
vodomira [7]

Answer:

1. Dion noticed that the campsite location was obscure (remote). - synonym clue

2. Pia couldn't wait to visit the menagerie—the place where the animals were kept. - definition clue

3. Unlike her last dog, who didn't know the meaning of loyalty, Violet's new dog is a staunch friend. - antonym clue

Explanation:

In sentence 1, we are literally given the synonym of the word in parentheses. The author guesses the word "obscure" might be unknown to some readers and decides to offer another word that carries the same meaning as it - a synonym - to help clarify. That is why the word "remote" is added right after "obscure".

In sentence 2, the author chose to define or explain the word "menagerie", almost like a dictionary would. He/she adds a dash after the word to then include the definition. We now know that a menagerie is the place where animals were kept.

Finally, in sentence 3, we can figure out the meaning of "staunch" by comparing it to the word "loyalty". Two dogs are being compared. One does not understand loyalty. The other one, however, is staunch. We can safely assume the latter is loyal, faithful, because of such a comparison. What the author did here was use words that have opposite meanings - antonyms - to reveal the meaning of the unknown word.

What do the tools such as bits, reins, halters, knives, and whips symbolize in the story?
Blababa [14]

Answer:

  • The tools such as bits, reins, halters, knives, and whips symbolize the oppression of the working class under the tsar.

Explanation:

Each one of those devices represent to the vehicle of the dictatorship to have the people under their control. The viciousness, the consistent compromise of their lives. It speaks to the absence of decisions the common laborers had under the tsar' regime.

The question belongs to this passage from chapter 2 of Animal Farm:

<em> The harness-room at the end of the stables was broken open; the bits, the nose-rings, the dog-chains, the cruel knives with which Mr. Jones had been used to castrate the pigs and lambs, were all flung down the well. The reins, the halters, the blinkers, the degrading nosebags, were thrown on to the rubbish fire which was burning in the yard. So were the whips. All the animals capered with joy when they saw the whips going up in flames.</em>

What are 3 things you learned about the process or about yourself as a designer?
AleksandrR [38]

Well, I believe I could answer this question since I am a graphic designer. Just remember to rephrase this a bit please.

1. As a designer, I have learned that your work doesn't speak for itself, you do. You must show/tell people about your work and how you feel about it.

2. Remember your "Why?". When your at the point of almost giving up, think about the purpose of the project or design.

3. Ask for help. When you need it, always ask for help

Could someone please check my work?
Andrei [34K]

You have done well here.  Subjective is based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, and opinions.   Answer D refers to insights and impulses that are unique to each person, making it personal.  In #2, wording in the sentence such as joyfulling, sunny, and kicking up their heels are all positive words.  Answer choices A, C, and D are all negative wording.  B is the correct choice.  Great job!
