Answer:

Tan enjoys thinking about language and using different forms of English.

Explanation:

In the passage above, the writer, Tan, confesses she is fascinated by the English language and she spends a great deal of time pondering the qualities and the potential that the language possesses; but not only that, she also makes an argument about the fact that the English language is not a monolith, but in fact, it is diverse and has many registers, and they can all be used, so much so that, in her trade, she makes use of them all.

Which of the following is NOT a way to use context clues to determine what a word means?
Llana [10]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Hi there,

The last choice is not a way to use context clues because it doesn't even help a student understand the meaning of the word. Noticing whether something is a vowel or a consonant will accomplish very little when you are trying to understand the meaning of a word.

Hope this answer helps. Cheers.
