Answer: Alvarez traces how Trujillo demanded the tributes, how her family reacted, and how it was finally her mother’s turn to pay tribute.

In these lines, Alvarez develops the idea by going from the general to the specific. First, she explains to us how Trujillo demanded tributes from everyone, and how he made this vital for anyone who wanted to have a life in the country. She then tells us how this affected her family, and their plans to escape. Finally, Alvarez explains the impact this had on her mother especifically, when it was her turn to pay tribute.

Andrea's opponent was honest and straightforward, but Andrea used her guile to win the contest. What type of context clue in the
Inga [223]

Answer:

The type of context clue in the sentence that can be used to determined the meaning of guile is:

D. an inference.

Explanation:

Context clues are hints we can find in a sentence or in a passage that help us understand the meaning of an unfamiliar word. In the sentence we are analyzing here, there are no definitions, synonyms, or antonyms to be found whatsoever. The only thing we can do is infer the meaning of guile, and that can easily be done by taking the first part of the sentence into consideration.

<u>The speaker tells us that Andrea's opponent was honest. Then, the speaker connects this part of the sentence to next one by using the conjunction "but", which expresses a contrast. That means: if the opponent was honest but Andrea used her guile, guile is the opposite of honesty. And that inference would be right! As a matter of fact, guile means cunning or sly intelligence.</u>

Read the historical fact.
madam [21]

c.why there is tension between the two sides in the tournament.

It is important to know this fact about the time period because it helps to explain some of the characters' behaviors in the tournament. The tension is not simply because of the contest. It is more deeply rooted because of the tensions between the Saxons and the Normans. Tension between sides does not usually result in indifference so option a is definitely wrong. Lady Rowena is the queen of the day because she was chosen by the winning knight - not because of the tensions. Also, tensions would not cause someone to defer.
