Ephraim shows contentious remarks against the degrading remarks of a certain politician

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

In this excerpt, Charlotte and Mrs. Sowerberry are reacting to what the reader sees as Oliver's justifiable anger towards Noah. Noah most likely pours water on Mrs. Sowerberry because he misunderstands Charlotte. Charlotte's reference to creatures "born to be murderers and robbers" suggests that she is contemptuous of the working classes.

Oksana_A [137]

Answer: The sentence should be revised in order to make it more formal.

The sentence is written in a way that copies colloquial speech. However, it is not appropriate for a written analysis.

For example, the word "totally," although appropriate in some circumstances, is ambiguous and overly familiar in this case. Moreover, contractions should not be used in formal writing. Finally, some of the words used in the sentence are not very clear, such as "things." A revised sentence would look something like this:

<em>"Nazario feels that refugee children should not be sent back to the same dangerous circumstances they have left</em>."

PRESS RELEASE
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

B. numbers replacing the bullets in the steps of the water-recycling process

C. numbers on the illustration indicating the corresponding steps in the text

Explanation:

Since the question asks what revisions should be done to make the document more informative, we should focus on what can be done to make the document more understandable to the readers.

Since the main point of the text, as shown by the heading is about a construction of a water reclamation plant, (A) is incorrect since the heading already provides this information clearly. (E) is outside of the context of the press release, while (D) is already illustrated through the attached image.

(B) is a good modification to do since processes should be numbered to make it clearer for the reader, and (C) would provide a better use of the image, since readers can immediately visualize how the processes described in the text would occur.
