Hi!
Your answer is B.
It is <u><em>not</em></u> A because this doesn't really make sense. It's not the best answer.
It <u><em>is</em></u> B because, in sentences, the words around it will likely give the information you need to infer what the word means.
(For example, if I were to say "<em>She was </em><u><em>continuously</em></u><em> singing, for yesterday she sang for 4 straight hours, and it was extremely annoying</em>", pretend you do not know what "continuously" means. By using the words around it, such as "4 straight hours" you can predict that it means "never stopping".)
It is <u><em>not</em></u> C because not every single sentence contains a synonym or antonym.
(See the sentence above. The antonym of "continuously" would be 'never' or 'sometimes' or possibly 'discontinous'. There isn't always an antonym or synonym there, is there?)
It is <u><em>not</em></u> D because not every single word is defined in a passage.
(When you open an average book, is there just an entire page(s) dedicated to every single definition of a word? Most often, no, there is not.)
Answer:
using a rhetorical question
Explanation:
A rhetorical question is styled to make an effect or to lay emphasis on some point and not in a need for real answer. In literature, it is used as an impressive persuasive device. For example, if someone asks " who is better than me" not to get an answer but to enforce that he is the best. In the above-mentioned question, Faith posed this question as a taunt to her classmate and not to obtain an answer.
