Determine Meaning: Words and Phrases — Quiz

Question 1 • English Language Arts 10

Read the sentence. Sarai discovered that some of the materials she tested were malleable enough to serve as springs for her robot. What type of context clue can you use to determine the meaning of malleable ?

Answer
A
an antonym
B
a definition
C
an inference
D
a synonym

Explanation

The sentence does not directly define malleable or give a synonym or antonym. Instead, you can infer its meaning from the clue that the materials could serve as springs for a robot: springs need to bend and flex. So the context clue is an inference.
