Answer:

D). An inference.

Explanation:

Context clues are demonstrated as the hints that are provided by the author to explain or clarify the meaning of an unfamiliar or unusual word to the readers or audience.

As per the question, 'an inference' exemplifies the type of context clue that could be employed to infer or deduce the meaning of the word through the use of logic or reason. Thus, the unfamiliar word 'malleable' logically implies the meaning 'flexible' as per the context and words surrounding it as given in the sentence(' 'it could serve as springs' and 'other were too hard'). Hence, 'an inference' i.e. <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

Read the excerpt from "Save the Coral Reefs.”
svetoff [14.1K]
<span>Q1: The ability of an ecosystem to recover from damage.
In the text, it says "the resiliency of the reefs". From this we know that resiliency is a trait that the reefs have. In the next sentence, we see the context clues that define resiliency when it states "reefs bounce back-even flourish." When someone or something bounces back it recovers and returns to it's previous state.

Q2: to inform readers about how the coral reefs are being destroyed AND to convince readers that practices that destroy coral reefs must be stopped.
It is a "Check All That Apply" so more than one answer can be chosen. The passage title is "Save the Coral Reefs" and the selection ends with the sentence "More can be done now to help the coral reefs bounce back". These clues tell the reader that the author's purpose is to save the reefs. In order to do this the author needs to first explain how the reefs are being destroyed. Then convince readers to save the reefs by stopping the practices that destroy them.

Q3: "could help save" and "unsubstantiated risks".
It is important to pay attention to the question here. It is asking for phrases that support safety - not necessarily nutrition. A pixie stick is safe to eat, but not nutritious. The phrase "could help save" supports the idea that it is safe because it is being defined as possibly life and eye-saving. "Unsubstantiated risks" also shows safety because it state that any risks have not been proven and are therefore unfounded. Some of the other phrases such as "more vitamin A" and "more nutritious" support the argument that the food is healthier but are not used to specifically explain how safe it is.</span>

antoniya [11.8K]

<u>Answer</u>:

<u>The reference highlights President Eisenhower’s deep dislike of the governor and shows his willingness to remove him from office.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Indeed, it reaffirms the reasons for the President's removal of Governor Faubus from office.

Remember, back in the 1950s during the racial discrimination crises, the Supreme Court made a unanimous decision to allow black students to attend the same school with the whites.

However, Governor Faubus went against the court ruling by directing that black students be prevented from coming to the Little Rock Central High School. An action that made Eisenhower dislike him.
