Answer:
D)The Princess Cocachin was a great friend of Marco Polo, and she urged her father to allow him to go with the party.
Explanation:
This is the option that shows the best way to rewrite this sentence correctly. This sentence conveys two main ideas: 1) that the princess is a great friend of Marco Polo and 2) that the princess urged her father to allow Marco Polo to go with the party. The best way to join these two complete sentences is by using a comma and the word "and."
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.
Answer:
The answer is: the fact that the entire town has paid to see
the "show" again, but this time they're
bringing things to throw at the duke and the king
Explanation:
This is the excerpt from the Mark Twain's "The adventures of Huckleberry Finn". Reading this text, we see that Huck notices that people who came to see the show have already been there previous nights and also that they are hiding something under the coats or in the pockets. Huck realizes that whatever they're hiding is responsible for the unbearable, foul smells which he identifies as the rotten egs and cabbage. This shows the true intentions of people who paid to see the show once more.
