Answer:
The context clues that would be most helpful in figuring out the meaning of impotent as it is used in the excerpt are:
Ever since the demilitarization
AND
the Crutches
Explanation:
The word impotent means helpless or powerless. It refers to someone who cannot do something, who cannot take action, as well as to someone who needs help. In the context it appeared, this word could have been understood with the help of the context clues "the Crutches" and "Ever since the demilitarization". <u>Crutches, as we know, are instruments used to help someone move when they cannot do it on their own. Figuratively speaking, a crutch is anything that supports a person who has or faces disability of any kind in life. Demilitarization means removing or extinguishing military forces. Both words, "crutches" and "demilitarization" convey a sense of lack of power, which then leads to the meaning of impotent.</u>
Before answering to the question, let us analyze a little bit the meaning of both concepts:
Inferencing is the inner mental ability of reasoning to analyze different situations or problems and to produce a general idea or rule about such situation or problems. This is could be better understood with a little analysis of the Inductive reasoning, but I think it is pretty clear so far.
Inflection refers to the ability of the vocal spectrum to change the tone of words to convey different meaning or purposes.
So, having mentioned the former, the statement that contrast inferencing and inflection is:
Inferencing occurs in the mind and inflection occurs with the voice.
Answer:
protuberances - example
avarice - antonym
inundation - definition/explanation

The type of context clue that helps the reader determine the meaning of the word protuberances is example. Following the word protuberance is a list of protuberances: "rocks, bushes, and ledges". These are all examples.
For avarice, the context clue used is antonym. Initially the speaker says he's going to be generous, but then he uses the signal word "instead" to show that avarice is a contrast to generous. Avarice is greed.
The word inundation is further defined or explained when the rest of the sentence explains the water flooding streets and basements.
