Categorize the following context clue for the word diaphanous: The curtains in the house were diaphanous like a piece of clean g
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The context clue for the word diaphanous can be categorized as <u>comparison</u>.

Explanation:

As we know, context clues are, as the name suggests, clues or hints a writer gives to help readers understand the meaning of certain words or expressions. In the sentence, "The curtains in the house were diaphanous like a piece of clean glass," we have an adjective that is quite uncommon, diaphanous. What the author does, then, is he/she compares the diaphanous curtains to something else as a means of eliciting what being diaphanous means. In this case, the comparison happens by the use of simile, a figure of speech which compares two different things by using support words ("as" or "like"). It is very common for writers to use metaphors as comparison context clues as well.

From the comparison context clue given by the author, we can assume that diaphanous means clear, translucent.

Which words from the passage have negative connotations
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The words from the passage that have negative connotations

that support the author's point are, "chemicals", "disease", and "obesity"

Explanation:

From the following excerpt:

I want my food to be real food. I don't want my only option of nourishment to be chemicals disguised as food. Chemicals that could one day poison my body and lead me down a path of obesity and disease. And I want organic options to be affordably priced so everyone can afford to eat healthy. I believe that these are attainable goals if more people see the value in organic food.

The words "chemicals", "disease", and "obesity" describe a human condition that is clearly unhealthy and dangerous for everyone, this is because of the use of artificial components as ingredients of the food people consume every day.
