The correct answer is A. Antonyms

Explanation:

A context clue refers to a clue about the meaning of an unknown word commonly provided by the words that surround the unknown word or are close to it. Additionally, the type of context clue provided by words can be of different types as other words can work as synonyms, as descriptions or even as antonyms.

In the case of the sentence "Although Amelia was quite lithe, her sister was clumsy and awkward" the unknown word is "lithe" and this is mainly explained by the conjunction "Although " and "her sister was clumsy and awkward" that shows the word "lithe" is the opposite of "clumsy" and "awkward" and indeed "lithe" means agile. Therefore, the type of context clue in this sentence is antonyms as the words "clumsy" and "awkward" suggest the meaning of "lithe" as they tell the reader these words are the opposite of the unknown word.

Answer:

Feldman reaches the conclusion that most people are honest without receiving an incentive by

studying a counterclaim about morality and arriving at a broad generalization.

Explanation:

A researcher can reach a conclusion that most people are honest after studying a counterclaim about morality.  He can then arrive at a broad generalization.

A counterclaim is the opposite of an argument, or simply, the opposing argument.  A counterclaim research is one undertaken to establish that the opposite of a research situation prevails.  It is a claim made against a situation or an established position in order to rebut the claimed position.

In this instance, Glaucon had taken a position that no man could resist the temptation of evil if he knew his acts could not be witnessed or dictated.  For Feldman to contradict this claim, with a conclusion that 87% of the time, a man could resist the temptation of evil even if he knew his acts could not be witnessed or dictated because he had become invisible, it means that he had researched the counterclaim.
