Drag each tile to the correct box. Which type of context clue will help define each underlined word? definition clue synonym clu
vodomira [7]

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.

Napoleon is more of a demanding, overpowering pig who always gets what he wants. He gets influenced easily and always puts himself first. He believes that he is Animal Farm's destined leader and praises himself for all the things that he has done for the animals.
Snowball, however, believes in the happiness of his citizens. He would always put the farm first and try to achieve everyone's needs. For ex: before he was chased out, he drew diagrams of the windmill that would help the animals so they would work less. If Snowball was never chased out of the farm it would be at better state than it is at the end of the book 

They both address leadership in different ways. Napoleon uses force, propaganda & slogans to get his way. While Snowball attempts to live accordingly to the ideology that Old Major has laid out for the animals . They are both inspired by this and they both want to gain the role of an ideal dictator. Both parties are corrupt whereas Snowball is a lessor evil.
