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.

Cheers

Use the picture below to describe the concrete effects of globalization​
klemol [59]

Explanation:

The image below shows some effects of globalization. In the last image we see a boat full of people, symbolizing the era of great sailing, whose aim was to discover new commercial routes beyond its territory. Therefore, through this image we can see that man has always been eager to explore new places and expand his business in search of profitability, this is what happens in the phenomenon of globalization.

Globalization is a phenomenon that has impacted human interactions and has occurred due to new technologies, ease of movement and communication, which has enabled man to seek business beyond his country.

We can also see in other images overpopulated cities, polluting factories and work teams, which demonstrates how globalization has strengthened industrialization, the search for people for job opportunities in major world metropolises and how there is a multicultural environment in organizations, where it is necessary team creativity and innovation so that the company is well positioned and stands out in this globalized scenario where there is a lot of competitiveness.
