This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
"While the people of Guilder were forced to read propaganda, the citizens of Florin were able to read honest, fact-based news reporting." In this example, the word "propaganda" can be defined through:
A. Homophones
B. Homonyms
C. Synonyms
D. Antonyms
Answer:
In this example, the word "propaganda" can be defined through:
D. Antonyms
Explanation:
All the options given indicate types of context clues. A context clue can be defined as a piece of information given by the author that can help the reader understand something. In this case, if the reader does not know what the word "propaganda" means, he can infer it by reading on to the antonyms that appear shortly after: "honest, fact-based news reporting." Antonyms are words that have opposite meanings. If "honest, fact-based news reporting" is an antonym for "propaganda", the reader can infer that propaganda consists of false or modified information.
