Answer:

The answer is 2: Using what they do know about the story to guess at a words meaning

Explanation:

This is because if you use "context," you are using material such as illustrations or surrounding words/sentences to find a definition for the word that makes the most sense. For example, if you had this sentence: The fluffy dog jumps over a blue river.

Pretend you don't know what fluffy means. You can figure it out either by looking at an illustration of the dog, or saying, what do I think this means?

List your guesses of what you think the word means, based on surrounding images/sentences in your head. Insert your guesses in place of "fluffy" and then choose the one that makes the most sense. Hope this helps!

Which opening sentence most strongly engages the reader and provides context?
svp [43]
Of the opening sentences that were presented here that strongly engages the reader and provides context to them would be the second one which is "We could have had a worse weekend, but it's awfully hard to beat Bigfoot and bugs."

The first and third one were just not good enough because it exposes the rest of the context to the reader and lets them have the idea of what you are talking about which usually leads to the readers not choosing to continue to read, thus taking out the reader's engagement but still provides context. The last one is better than the first and third, but it spilled the beans when it mentioned the particulars as to what made the weekend bad to worse. The answer is just right. It has the impact that would hook the reader to know more about your weekend and why is Bigfoot and bugs together in your statement. The rain wasn't mentioned which would be ideal to make the story telling take a turn to much worse which would spike up the interest of the reader.
