Note: I found this question online and saw that the italicized words are "speculate", "strenuous", "exaggerate", and "vicinity".
Answer:
The sentence that best uses a synonym as a context clue to clarify the meaning of the word is option D. I know I left my laptop in the vicinity of the playing field, which is near the bleachers.
Explanation:
Options A through C do not present any context clues to clarify the meaning of the italicized words. The only possible option left is D, in which we have the word "vicinity". "Vicinity" means the area near or around something. In the sentence, we have the very synonym of "vicinity" being used as a context clue for its meaning when the speaker says, "which is near the bleachers." Therefore, even if the reader does not know what "vicinity" means, he can infer the meaning through the context clue.

Explanation:
Imagery is a method, or should we say a literary device, that uses figurative language filled with descriptions in order to help us create mental images of the text. It helps us, not just to read the text, but to experience it with all our senses. Imagery vividly describes how something looks like, sounds like, feels like, tastes like or smells like (uses our senses to describe something).
So, knowing this, best fitting answers would be:
- he breathed upon the great rocks and lumps of earth
- the Moon rose big and full over the water
<span>Henry's journey in The Red Badge of Courage is obviously a very complex one, and that it's difficult to fit into an 8 slide presentation, but you can certainly try! I think the thing it is most important to discuss is the fluctuation in his character development, from being terrified to confident, to being scared again, to finally overcoming his fears only to receive a terrible knockback. Make sure not to write as if his journey within the story was one smooth path.</span>
