Which word from the lines below best helps the reader to understand the meaning of "mast"?
Wittaler [7]

Some of the ways to identify the meaning of a word based on the available context are:

  • Read and understand the text/sentence

  • Write out on a pad the original meaning of the word

  • Read the particular sentence aloud where the word whose meaning you want to find

  • For example, if your sentence that contains the word "mast" goes like this: "At his burial, the flag was flown at half-mast", you can directly infer that this is a sign of respect.

  • With this in mind, you can see that the meaning of the word "mast" based on the context used means that a dead person is being honored and this is an upright post that a flag is attached to.

  • Therefore, the meaning would be "an upright pole"

<h3>What are Context Clues?</h3>

This refers to the use of hints and clues to give a reader some perspective about the meaning of a word, or phrase based on the given context.

It is worth noting that connotative meanings are the implied meanings of a word that is the secondary meaning of a word and this is used based on the available context of a sentence.

Write a short paragraph explaining how you changed when you entered middle school .
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Your friend explains that his anxiety feels like a giant rock is pushing on his chest, keeping him from moving. His anxiety also feels like he is trying to cross a busy highway, but there are too many cars quickly passing by, making it impossible for him to cross.

Because your friend used concrete nouns such as rock, chest, highway, and cars, you now have a better understanding of what the abstract noun, anxiety, must feel like. Now you know how to help your friend because using these different nouns together helped you both communicate effectively.
