Answer: C) when the surrounding words are unfamiliar.

Explanation: context clues are hints that an author gives to help define a difficult or unusual word within a book. The clue may appear within the same sentence as the word to which it refers or it may follow in the next sentence. They can be synonyms, definitions, explanations, etc. When we found a word or phrase that we don't understand, and all the surrounding words are also unfamiliar, we should refer to a dictionary to be able to understand the text.

The definition of communal is "Shared by all members of a community; for common use."

I would say that their kitchen <em>is</em> communal because their "community" consists of all the roommates who use the kitchen and contribute to it. If only one person contributed to the kitchen stock, then it would not be communal.

The slave went free; stood a brief moment in the sun; then moved back again toward slavery." W. E. B. DuBois

Mrac [35]

Answer:

Even though the slave was free, he was not treated that way.

Explanation:

Not every black person was a destitute sharecropper. In spite of the endemic racism of the south, there was room for some blacks to rise into the middle class by learning specialized trades, or by creating businesses that served the black community. In a few of the cities, such as New Orleans, Nashville, and Charleston, there were communities established that allowed some chance at autonomy and prosperity.
