Answer:

The meaning of chattel is 'property.'

The meaning of the word 'chattel' can be understood with the help of a clue that states 'for her to treat me as a human being was not only wrong but dangerously so...'

The type of context clue used in this is 'antonym context clue.'

Explanation:

The meaning of the word 'chattel' is property. Frederick Douglass in his autobiography writes about his life in slavery and during that time, <u>slaves were considered a mere chattel (property) than a human being.</u>

<u>The writer has used the context clue to define the term chattel by saying that for his owner to treat him like 'human being' was not only wrong but dangerous as well</u>.

The writer has used an 'antonym context clue' in this paragraph.

The antonym context clue, as the term suggests are those clues in which the writer states a contrasting idea near to the word. The antonym context clues are also known as 'contrast clues.' In such context clues, a word or phrase that means opposite to the unfamiliar word is used to hint the meaning.

Based on the excerpt, which inference can be made about the setting?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Hello. This question is incomplete. the complete question is:

"Read the excerpt from Iqbal. Hussain Khan looked at us and growled, "What do you think you're looking at? Get back to work." We bent to our looms, but then we quickly peeked over our shoulders. Hussain brought the new boy over to an empty loom in the row next to mine, pulled out a rusty shackle, and locked it on the boy's right ankle. "This will be your place, here's where you'll work," he said. Based on the excerpt, which inference can be made about the setting?  Children decide to begin working at young ages.  Children are used to working in unfair conditions.  The workshop is a safe and healthy environment.  Carpet-making is the main industry in the area"

Answer:

Children are used to working in unfair conditions.

Explanation:

The text above shows a situation where children are working on looms unfairly and in inhumane situations. As we can see through the narrative, children are verbally treated, in addition to being trapped by the feet in an act of total cowardice and malice. However, they all act naturally, as if that were a common situation in their daily lives. For this reason, we can say that it is possible to infer that in this text, children are used to working in unfair conditions.

Alexandra is proud of the Finch family's social status in Maycomb, and immediately begins to socialize in Maycomb. Scout thinks good people are defined by doing the best they can with what they have, but Alexandra seems to believe that the older a family's history, the better the family is. Alexandra even forces Atticus to teach Scout and Jem about their family history. But this strange change in Atticus makes Scout cry, and with relief he gives up.

Hope this helps :))
