The context clues are re hints that an author gives to help define a difficult or unusual word. Remember that those words <span>may appear within the same sentence as the word to which it refers, or it may follow in a preceding sentence.

If your looking for the word, minuscule, your best bet is to look somewhere where it had words related to size, since minuscule is another word for something small.
Answer:
A. the positions of the thesis statement
Explanation:
What mainly gives it away for me is the arrow at the bottom of the triangle near the top. You <em>usually</em> want to end your topic paragraph with your thesis. Then, you restate it in the beginning of your conclusion followed by a summary and finishing up your essay in the last paragraph.
Let us look at the other options.
B. the positions of the hook sentences
-> Why would you want to hook your readers at the end of your intro paragraph, or even at the end of your essay? This option doesn't make sense.
C. the positions of the topic sentences
-> This is another good option, but the topic statement is very similar to the thesis, but they are usually the start of your <em>body</em> paragraphs.
D. the positions of the introductions
-> Why would you have an introduction at the end of your paragraph? This option also doesn't make sense.
Have a nice day!
