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

PLS REWRIGHT THIS INTO BETTER WORDS (AKA MORE FANCY)
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

There are many negatives about deporting illegal immigrants. Firstly, there are many families that lack connections with their parents due to deportation. This lack of connection can increase hate in a country. This can cause hate and anger in a person. People in Mexico usually try to find better locations to stay in. People want a place to call home. People want to get an opportunity that is in a different place than the past. All in all, there is a huge question in this situation. Who is wrong here the people who just want a better life or the people who separate innocent family's?

Hope this helps!!

enyata [817]

Answer:

<em>Little inferior; whom my thoughts pursue</em>

<em>With wonder, and could love, so lively shines </em>

and

<em>In them Divine resemblance, and such grace </em>

<em>The hand that formd them on their shape hath pourd.</em>

Explanation:

These two sets of lines show how Satan acknowledges the goodness of God. In the first set, Satan tells us that his "thoughts pursue" God, and he also talks about love and shine. In the second set of lines, Satan talks about God's "divine resemblance," and he tells us that he made his creations with "grace." All of these positive words show that Satan feels some kind of respect towards God.
