What does the quote “The man who does not read books has no advantage over the one who cannot read them.” mean?

Answer: they are both blind men.

Explanation: while one man (the man who doesn’t read) has the choice to inform themselves, the one who can’t read is unable to read. The illiterate one is blind to information and is hindered in his academic endeavors because he lacks a skill set needed to learn. But just because you can read doesn’t make you smarter than someone is illiterate. If you don’t read books to both improve your skill set and gain more knowledge, the skill set becomes useless and your just as helpless as the man who cannot read. Hope I didn’t confuse you more:

Which method is best for determining the meaning of an unfamiliar word: using context clues, using related words, or
forsale [732]

Answer:

a) Using context clues

Explanation:

In literature, context clues are words or phrases, such as synonyms, antonyms, or metaphors, that are used as 'clues' or 'hints' when an unfamiliar or complicated word is used by the author. It allows the reader to <u>understand the meaning of the word in regard to the context it is used in.</u>

Context clues could be more useful in comparison to dictionaries because it allows the reader to comprehend the word in a more profound way by knowing <em>how the word could be used, in what context, how is it similar or different to other words</em>, etc. instead of only known the definition - which could also be complicated to understand in many cases.

Answer:

no

Explanation:

the capital citizens think of the tributes in the same way people think about racing horses. They are financially invested rather than emotionally. Even if they cry over a tribute, it is more about money lost and is similar to the way you would cry about a pet.
