Answer:

protuberances - example

avarice - antonym

inundation - definition/explanation

Explanation:

The type of context clue that helps the reader determine the meaning of the word protuberances is example. Following the word protuberance is a list of protuberances: "rocks, bushes, and ledges". These are all examples.

For avarice, the context clue used is antonym. Initially the speaker says he's going to be generous, but then he uses the signal word "instead" to show that avarice is a contrast to generous. Avarice is greed.

The word inundation is further defined or explained when the rest of the sentence explains the water flooding streets and basements.

The correct answers are A) "Things that stick out". This is the meaning for the word "Protuberance".

B) "Greed". It has to do with the part that talks about the "avarice" and it is to have more of the necessary.

C)"Flood". It refers to the "inundation" of water. It is a huge amount of water that takes a dry area.

What is plagiarism? what forms does it take? why is it such a serious offense?
Kazeer [188]
Plagiarism is taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.

The forms are Direct, Self, Mosaic, Accidental, and paraphrasing plagiarism.

It is such a serious defense because it is a copy of someone else’s work without credit and if you’re faking it as your own, there is big consequences.
