Question:
Ephraim shows CONTENTIOUS remarks against the degrading remarks of a certain politician.
Identify the type of context clue (CONTENTIOUS) used in the statement above.
Answer:
The type of context clue left here is called Inference Clue. This type of clue prompts the reader to reach a conclusion on the meaning of the word by use of reason, logic and or evidence.
Explanation:
Context clues are pointers left by a writer in a sentence or a paragraph that helps the reader comprehend the contextual connotation of old, new or difficult words.
In the statement above, CONTENTIOUS is the "difficult" word. When we read the entirety of the sentence we can see that it was a response to action: that is, the <u>degrading remarks of a certain politician.</u>
Suffice it to say that based on the above, an avid reader would estimate that on the balance of probabilities, Ephraim's action was an equally corresponding and action of rebuttal.
It's is worthy of note to state that there, besides the one already mentioned above - <em>inference clue, </em>that there are various other kinds of <em>context clues. </em>They are:
- Definition Clues
- Example Clues
- Synonym Clues and
- Antonym clues.

Envy is an emotion which is characterized by desires for having those qualities, possessions or lucks of other people. It is opposite of generosity and contentment.
The first line shows that Inge's life lacked colors and freedom, so she was attracted by people's dress colors, and the freedom and leisure with which they strolled down the street. The second line shows that Inge's life was boring and each of her day began and ended dull so she looked enviously at people outside the wall who did started and ended their days full of life and brimming with activity.
There are many lines in this excerpt from "Inge's Wall" which suggest that Inge was envious of people on the other side of the wall. Some other lines suggesting the same are;
Inge was drawn to the sounds she often heard from the other side—laughter, shouting, music, and the noise of busy traffic.
It was alive and brimming with activity, with living.
Inge leaned, transfixed by the view, for hours until she began to feel the strain in her back and leg muscles.
She headed home, knowing she would return again and again.

These little things can go unnoticed during the planning of the journey and even during the execution of the journey, however these small details are essential for the success of the experience, because although small, their results can be great.
