Answer:

Context clues (or as you said "clues") are when we are reading and the author helps to let us understand want it happening better by using actions, symbols,etc.

Explanation:

For example, examine this sentence and determine the meaning of "dubious":

"Although some believe in the existence of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and the existence of extraterrestrial life, more are dubious about these things."

When you examine the word "dubious" in the context of this sentence, you should be able to make some inferences and educated guesses about the meaning of the word "dubious". The meaning of this word is to be doubtful. This inference and educated guess can be arrived at by comprehending and understanding the context within which the word occurred. This sentence states that "some believe in the existence of unidentified flyer objects and the existence of extraterrestrial life" but still more are doubtful about these things. The word "although" in this sentence is also an important clue because it suggests that the opposite of "some believe" is "more are dubious" meaning more are doubtful.

Hey I'm sorry about that. My answer was taken down since I had a link in it. I hope this still helps.

18. When forming the superlative degree of an adjective, what is commonly added to the end of the word?
Zepler [3.9K]
→ One syllable words: add “est” to the word. Remember that it’s sometimes necessary to double the final consonant (example: big to biggest).

→ One syllable words ending with an "e", only add "st" (examples: fine to finest or rare to rarest).

→ Two syllable words ending with a "y", change the "y" to an "i" and add "est” (examples: crazy to craziest and silly to silliest).

→ Two and three syllable words use "most" or "least” (examples: most desirable and least expensive).

⇨ Your answer is A -est!

There you go! I hope this helped, if there’s anything just let me know! ☻

What theme does Stephen Crane explore in “An Episode of War”?
Lelechka [254]
The correct answer is letter C.

The central theme of Stephen Crane's work is about the cruelty of war. It talked about characters that were unable to exercise free will because their actions were forced by the circumstances presented to them during the war. Human suffering was an apparent situation that Crane emphasized in his work.
