What is the selected sentence and options?
Note: I found this question online and saw that the italicized words are "speculate", "strenuous", "exaggerate", and "vicinity".
Answer:
The sentence that best uses a synonym as a context clue to clarify the meaning of the word is option D. I know I left my laptop in the vicinity of the playing field, which is near the bleachers.
Explanation:
Options A through C do not present any context clues to clarify the meaning of the italicized words. The only possible option left is D, in which we have the word "vicinity". "Vicinity" means the area near or around something. In the sentence, we have the very synonym of "vicinity" being used as a context clue for its meaning when the speaker says, "which is near the bleachers." Therefore, even if the reader does not know what "vicinity" means, he can infer the meaning through the context clue.
Because that is the definition of those words.
those words were used to describe a keratin placing of higharcy, they mean what they mean.
Just how loose means loose and tight means tight...it is just what it means.
This question is out of context if you want a better answer...explain to me what you need help with.
"To try to write certain sentences is difficult"
The correct statements are 1, 2 and 3.
1) The sentence is correctly written. The pattern "to try to do something" is correct and can be used.
2) The sentence contains more than one infinitive. It contains two infinitive verbs. TO TRY and TO WRITE.
3) One infinitive is inside another infinitive phrase. "To try to write certain sentences" is an infinitive phrase, it functions as a noun because it is the subject of the sentences. So, the second TO INFINITIVE is inside the main infinitive phrase. (That is the reason why number 4 is not correct)
