Answer:

all this was told me for a great secret

Explanation:

Context clues are words or phrases that the author leaves in the text to help the reader discover the meaning of a word that may be unknown to the reader through the context of the text. Using this concept we can understand that the author thought that the word "indiscretion" was unknown, or brought a confusing meaning to the reader, so the author wished to use contextual clues to clarify that word and make the reading more fluid. The context clue the author used for the word "indiscretion" was the phrase "all this was told me for a great secret". Since the word "indiscretion" reveals that Emily was inconvenient in revealing something that was secret.

100 points! I don't understand how a 9th grade problem can be so easy... So all I have to do is replace the underlined words???
Serga [27]

Yep, that's basically the whole task. To change the passage to become more 'upbeat', yet still share similar words to the previous words, the following could be changed to...

trudged= plodded

shuffled= staggered

scrutinised= questioned

sparse=meagre

closed in= confined

anxious= eager (Although eager and anxious generally do not share a similar definition, in this context they do as 'anxious' is used to describe being excited to do something, and share the same meaning of 'Very eager or concerned to do something or for something to happen'

pried= wrenched

confronted= suddenly exposed

puzzling=baffling

something=remarkable

used=castoff

questioned=pondered

anxious=uneasy
