Which type of context clue will help define each underlined word? definition clue synonym clue antonym clue Dion noticed that th
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Even though no words were underlined in the question, I believe the following context clues were used

Explanation:

Context clues help shed light or explain underlined or circles words or phrases within a context - either a sentence, phrase, paragraph or even an entire book.

There are seven types of contexts clues including Synonyms clues, Antonym clues, Definition clues, Example clues etc

Synonyms clues give similar words or phrases to the words or phrases underlined.

Antonym clues give words or phrases that are opposite in meaning or contrast the underlined phrase.

From the question,

1) Dion noticed that the campsite location was obscure (remote). Remote is a synonym clue that is similar in meaning to the word 'obscure'. It helps to explain that the location of the campsite is far off.

2) Pia couldn't wait to visit the menagerie—the place where the animals were kept. Unlike her last dog, who didn't know the meaning of loyalty, Violet's new dog is a staunch friend.

The phrase 'Violet's new dog is a staunch friend' is an antonym clue that contrasts the behaviour of Pia's last dog

The passage supports the inference that Unferth is
Neko [114]

Read the passage from Beowulf. From where he crouched at the king's feet, Unferth, a son of Ecglaf’s, spoke contrary words. Beowulf’s coming, his sea-braving, made him sick with envy: he could not brook or abide the fact that anyone else alive under heaven might enjoy greater regard than he did: The passage supports the inference that Unferth is

1. acclaimed.

2. frail

3. petty.

4. religious.

The passage supports the inference that Unferth is petty. Thus, option "C" is correct.

<h3>Who is Unferth?</h3>

Unferth (also Hunferth) is a character from the Old English epic poem Beowulf. The poem tells a story about a warrior named Beowulf, who arrives to help King Hrothgar and his people to fight Grendel.

In the poem, Unferth is Hrothgar's servant. His name is mentioned four times throughout the poem. Unferth is portrayed as a character of little importance when compared to the main characters.

The correct answer is, therefore, that this passage supports the inference that Unferth is petty.
