1. I used context clues and connotations to make inferences about the text. Words such as "'energetic," "dare," and "dream," give off positive connotations which help the reader identify the meaning of the passage. This is accomplished by the words that surround the above words in the passage, which allow the reader to guess what the above listed words mean. It is also accomplished by the connotations of the above words, which are positive and hopeful. Therefore, by using the above methods, I used context clues and the connotations of various words to decipher the meaning of the text.
This is actually based from <span>Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher”. And based on this excerpt, what the narrator is doing in this moment is that he is was reminiscing of what had happened in the past. Hope this answers your question. </span>
What is the question, I don’t see the picture?
B. Roots
Roots are the smallest meaningful parts of words. For example the root word of aquamarine would be Aqua, which means water. So the root word can also give you a hint on the meaning of the word.
Hope this helps :)
