Ephraim shows contentious remarks against the degrading remarks of a certain politician
xenn [34]

Question:

Ephraim shows CONTENTIOUS remarks against the degrading remarks of a certain politician.

Identify the type of context clue (CONTENTIOUS) used in the statement above.

 

Answer:

The type of context clue left here is called Inference Clue. This type of clue prompts the reader to reach a conclusion on the meaning of the word by use of reason, logic and or evidence.

Explanation:

Context clues are pointers left by a writer in a sentence or a paragraph that helps the reader comprehend the contextual connotation of old, new or difficult words.

In the statement above, CONTENTIOUS is the "difficult" word. When we read the entirety of the sentence we can see that it was a response to action: that is, the <u>degrading remarks of a certain politician.</u>

Suffice it to say that based on the above, an avid reader would estimate that on the balance of probabilities, Ephraim's action was an equally corresponding and action of rebuttal.

It's is worthy of note to state that there, besides the one already mentioned above - <em>inference clue, </em>that there are various other kinds of <em>context clues. </em>They are:

  1. Definition Clues
  2. Example Clues
  3. Synonym Clues and
  4. Antonym clues.
