Readers can utilize context cues to help them figure out the meanings of unfamiliar or difficult-to-decipher words that they come across in a sentence, paragraph, or passage.

According to numerous academics, context cues can be used to infer and determine the meaning of new or unfamiliar words in context. Examples of the four categories of context cues provided by Nist and Mohr include examples, synonyms, antonyms, and the general sense of a statement.

The reader can determine a word's true meaning in a sentence by using contextual signals. Take a look at this example: The doctor was really concerned about the man's obesity or excessive fat. In this sentence, the word "obesity" actually means "too much fat."

Thus,  option A is correct.

What is a bowling ball?

A bowling ball is a tough, spherical ball used in the bowling sport to knock down bowling pins. American nine-pin bowling balls and ten-pin bowling balls often contain holes for the thumb and two fingers.

A scale from 1 to 10 has been developed for the RG (Radius of Gyration) of bowling balls. The range of RG numbers is 2.460 to 2.800, however, some businesses have scaled them down to a 1–10 scale to enable consumers to have a better frame of reference. The distribution of mass in the bowling ball is described by mass distribution numbers.

In modern bowling, three different types of balls are used: plastic, urethane, and reactive.

Every bowling ball is marked with a colored dot, which serves as the ball's pin and should not be mistaken for the pins at the end of the lane. How you drill your ball to obtain the appropriate reaction on the lanes depends heavily on the pin.

50 points to whoever answers (answer needs to be good tho)! How are loyalty values different now from back when Romeo and Juliet took place? What are the difs? Include evidence from the play!

Answers

Explanation;

I think the similarities between Romeo and Juliet are fairly obvious and have already been presented to you in other answers. The differences between them are more interesting and significant. In the beginning of the play Romeo is basically a comic character, a silly boy in love with being in love. Romeo knows the game of love and all the rules of “courtly love” which he follows in approaching Juliet. Only later in the play do we see Romeo becoming “a man” and a serious character.

Juliet, from the beginning, is a very serious young woman facing a serious question even though she is only thirteen. She is being asked to marry Paris and must answer this request, which she does in a reasonable and polite fashion. Juliet knows the rules of how she is suppose to behave with a lover. She knows that she is supposed to pretend that she is not interested and force a lover to work for her attention—she says in the “balcony scene.” It is partly by accident, but the amazing thing about Juliet is that she is frank. Cutting through all the game playing, she tells Romeo in a straightforward fashion that she loves him—even though she says immediately that she knows this is not the right thing for her to do. We can guess that part of her attraction for him is that she is so opposed to him in character—she is his anima. In the other direction, she might well be attracted to him because he is her animus.

The most difficult thing about exploring the ocean is its size. The ocean is almost two-and-a-half times as big as all the land on Earth. In addition, the ocean is very deep—up to seven miles deep in parts! What is true about the relationship between the ocean and the land on Earth? A There are only seven square miles of ocean in the entire world. B The amount of ocean equals the amount of land. C There is more than twice the amount of ocean as land. D The total amount of land is seven times that of the ocean.

C is the only answer that makes sense

Answer:

C

Explanation:

First of all the ocean is much bigger than the land jutting out of it. It is not seven times bigger. So D is wrong

B The ocean and land area are not the same. B is wrong

A That 7 belongs to depth not surface area. A is wrong.

That leaves C which is correct.

Take Gabrielle Coco Chanel, for example. Her modernist philosophy redesigned the way the world viewed women. By transforming the way women dressed during the 20th century, Coco Chanel granted femininity back to women. Little did the world know that a girl raised in an orphanage would liberate women from common stereotypical uniforms. Gabrielle Chanel was born in France in 1883. She was first inspired to reinvent clothes because she could not afford the fashionable garments of her time. Chanels job as a seamstress in the orphanage had given her the skills that she needed to redefine clothes for women. She opened her first shop outside of Paris, France with her uncles partnership. The store featured pullover sweaters and sailor jackets for men and displayed eye-catching straight skirts. The shop did not survive the tough competition of Paris. After a series of jobs and failed ventures, Chanels second millinery shop became a success. French actresses began wearing Chanels glamorous hats and helped establish her reputation. Chanels first designer item, the little black dress, was a stunning feat. Later, Chanel won critical acclaim for womens business suits which allowed females to look professional and glamorous at the same time. The fashion industry was taken by storm. Clothing originally designed for menlike business suits had been revamped for women.How can the reader tell what genre this is? A. It includes detail about the author's personal experiences. B.
