The answer to this question is possibly: B. To show that the narrator is trying to be smarter. Looking back at the sentence, I can use context clues. I can specifically look at where the sentence said, "Something inside me began to die." That is suggesting that the narrator is influenced by her mother's face to allow something to die within her. In other words, she realizes that she needs to change into a new, better person. Hope that helps.
Context clues are the clues that are given by the author to the readers to try and understand meaning of difficult words in context to the text.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Context clues are the hints which are given to the readers of the text by the author to try and understand the meaning of the difficult words keeping in mind the context of the text.
The clue may appear in the same line itself in which the word is. Just because the vocabulary that we gain comes from the reading that we do, we must take advantage of the context clues while we are reading to improve our vocabulary.
