Here is the full excerpt for this question:
<span>Again Rainsford lifted the heavy knocker, and let it fall. The door opened then, opened as suddenly as if it were on a spring, and Rainsford stood blinking in the river of glaring gold light that poured out. The first thing Rainsford's eyes discerned was the largest man Rainsford had ever seen—a gigantic creature, solidly made and black bearded to the waist. In his hand the man held a long-barreled revolver, and he was pointing it straight at Rainsford's heart

from this excerpt, we know that rainsford sees ivan as: <span>alarming
Not only Ivan possesses all the physical feature that really intimidate Rainsford, He also pointed a gun on his chest. This make Rainsford think that ivan is a potential threat for his life, so he feels alarmed at the sight of Ivan</span>

The sails on the ship cracked in the heavy winds.

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.
Answer: ''What, then, remains to be argued? Is it that slavery is not divine; that God did not establish it; that our doctors of divinity are mistaken?''
Explanation:
That is the title that is given as the speech of Frederick Douglass in 1852 in New York and this excerpt is best showing counterclaim because in it he is mentioning the claim that was before.
''What, then, remains to be argued? Is it that slavery is not divine; that God did not establish it; that our doctors of divinity are mistaken?''
