Context clues are hints that an author gives to help define a difficult or unusual word. The clue may appear within the same sentence as the word to which it refers, or it may follow in a preceding sentence. Because most of one’s vocabulary is gained through reading, it is important that you be able to recognize and take advantage of context clues.
There are at least four kinds of context clues that are quite common: 1) a synonym (or repeat context clue) which appears in that sentence; 2) anantonym (or contrast context clue) that has the opposite meaning, which can reveal the meaning of an unknown term; 3) an explanation for an unknown word is given (adefinition context clue) within the sentence or in the sentence immediately preceding; and 4) specific examples (an example context clue) used to define the term.
There may also be word-part context clues in which a common prefix, suffix, or root will suggest at least part of the meaning of a word. A general sense context clue lets the reader puzzle out a word meaning from whatever information is available – and this is the most common kind of context clue. Others describe context clues in three ways: 1) semantic or meaning clues, e.g., When reading a story about cats, good readers develop the expectation that it will contain words associated with cats, such as “tail,” “purr,” “scratch,” and “whiskers”; 2) syntactic or word order clues where the order of the words in a sentence can indicate that a missing word must be (for example, a verb); and 3) picture clues where illustrations help with the identification of a word.

The correct answer is the following: <em>option c. Materialism was an object of critique in the works of the "Lost Generation" of writers.</em> Gertrude Stein was an American novelist from the 1920's that coined the term "Lost Generation" using it as a reference to the lack of purpose that young people had at that time, as a consequence of the World War I. The term then became popular to represent the group of authors and poets of the 1920's as their work represented the feelings the World had at those times. One of the main themes The Lost Generation wrote about was about materialism, and how many people became reckless spenders, obsessed with material objects and throwing parties on a constant as all their moral ideals had been killed by the War. Famous authors from these movement are Ernest Hemingway and Scott Fitzgerald.
