Answer:

Context clues

Explanation:

When we are reading and find an unusual or unknown word within a text, we can use the surrounding information to help comprehend the meaning of that word, as well as its pronunciation, when we do this, we are using the context clues. There are many types of context clues, for example, to find out the meaning of a word, we can look for synonyms within the sentence or the text that refers to that unknown word, for antonym that may reveal us the meaning of the word by contrast, or for examples related to that word.

In the following example, we can look for synonyms as a context clue to have an idea of what "clandestine" means:

<em>No one will ever discover what they would call "a </em><u><em>clandestine</em></u><em> place", I don't think neither of us would open their mouth after all that we have gone through in here, only the four of us, in our own little </em><u><em>secret</em></u><em> home.</em>

love history [14]

Answer:

The Bone Wars is an episode in the history of paleontology that led to the discovery of some of the most famous dinosaurs.

Explanation:

 The rivalry between Cope and Marsh was what led them to commit illicit acts and even destroy several dinosaur bones in order to "destroy" each other.

They began to collect fossil bones, and hidden from Cope, Marsh had paid for the bones to easily reach him.

Although both were great scientists, instead of working together they attacked each other in a public way.

However, this enmity helped to discover large species such as Diplodocus or Anisonchus Copehater.

Finally, the one who "won the war" was Marsh, who found 80 new species of dinosaur, while Cope found 56.
