Question

Item 5 Based on context clues, what does the word host mean in this sentence? One minute the entire land was quiet; the next, we heard a thundering host stomping through the hills, kicking up a tidal wave of dust and raising an incredible racket. an owner a provider an army a recipient

Answer 1

Answer:

an army

Explanation:

The text above states that the "host" made a horrible noise and had a strong step that raised a lot of dust. This gives us the impression that the "host" is not a single person, but a large number of people, a crowd, which can indicate that this word refers to an army. Which makes perfect sense, since the word "host" used to be used to refer to an army.
