Answer:

1. Dion noticed that the campsite location was obscure (remote). - synonym clue

2. Pia couldn't wait to visit the menagerie—the place where the animals were kept. - definition clue

3. Unlike her last dog, who didn't know the meaning of loyalty, Violet's new dog is a staunch friend. - antonym clue

Explanation:

In sentence 1, we are literally given the synonym of the word in parentheses. The author guesses the word "obscure" might be unknown to some readers and decides to offer another word that carries the same meaning as it - a synonym - to help clarify. That is why the word "remote" is added right after "obscure".

In sentence 2, the author chose to define or explain the word "menagerie", almost like a dictionary would. He/she adds a dash after the word to then include the definition. We now know that a menagerie is the place where animals were kept.

Finally, in sentence 3, we can figure out the meaning of "staunch" by comparing it to the word "loyalty". Two dogs are being compared. One does not understand loyalty. The other one, however, is staunch. We can safely assume the latter is loyal, faithful, because of such a comparison. What the author did here was use words that have opposite meanings - antonyms - to reveal the meaning of the unknown word.

Write about a time when you successfully kept a News Year's resolution- or write about why you don't make New Year's resolutions
a_sh-v [17]

Why I Don't Make New Year's Resolutions:

The thing about New Year's resolutions is that it's similar to saying "I'll do it tomorrow". Some people say "hopefully next year I lose weight and exercise", see it sounds like a nice goal, but half the time it's just a method to push doing it farther back. It's not supposed to be a deadline that you extend and I get tired of seeing people do that because that means they won't do it here and now.

If you want to get something done, do it now. Not tomorrow, not the day after, and definitely not next year. If you have the time to dream to do this next year, then why can't you do it now? (This applies to the people that truly have time to make these improvements and meet these goals.)

Sorry if this isn't the best, but I hope this helps.
