1) A reader might use the surrounding words in the sentence to help figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word.

2) A reader might use an image accompanied with the text to help figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word.

3) A reader might use punctuation, occasionally an author will separate the definition of a word from the rest of the sentence using commas, or semicolons. To help figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word.

That’s three so you should be good.

What does Botstein mean not by ' the rules of high school turn out not to be the rules of life'
Leviafan [203]
When Bostein clearly stated that ' the rules of high school turn out not to be the rules of life ' he apparently meant that the social-scale in a stereotypical high school is considered fake and has no purpose whatsoever in the outside world. Meaning that appearance and athletic status will not apply or be necessary to any sort of work in the 'real world'.

Read the excerpt from “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury. It had been raining for seven years; thousands upon thousands of da
Natalka [10]

Answer:

The imagery Bradbury uses in the line suggests:

The rain destroys the forests but they grow back.

Explanation:

The line we are supposed to analyze is:

<em>A thousand forests had been crushed under the rain and grown up a thousand times to be crushed again.</em>

The first option states the forests are overgrown, but the line makes it clear that the rain keeps on crushing, destroying the forests. Therefore, we can eliminate it.

The second option states the planet is covered with forests. However, for the same reason mentioned above, this is incorrect. The rain does not allow the forests to persist.

The fourth option states that the rain falls nonstop. This information is correct, but it is not the focus of the imagery in the specific line we are analyzing here. The focus is the forests, not the rain.

Thus, the third option is the best one. The forests do grow back. They are crushed again, that's for sure, but somehow they still manage to grow back.

Select the appropriate synonym or antonym for the underlined word below:
galben [10]

Answer:

Insidiously

Explanation:

All the other words don't make sense if you were to substitute them into the sentence.

Insidiously  = something that occurs slowly

This means that the word "insidiously" would be the antonym of "quickly."
