Please help it's due ! If you have course hero tell me! I just want to know what a document says not your account. Here are the context clues to help you:

The five types of context clues are:

1. Definition/Explanation Clues

Sometimes a word's or phrase's meaning is explained immediately after its use.

Example: "Haberdashery, which is a store that sells men’s clothing, is becoming more

common today.”

2. Restatement/Synonym Clues

Sometimes a hard word or phrase is said in a simple way.

Example: "Lou was sent to the haberdashery to find a new suit. He needed to wear

one for his uncle’s wedding."

Because the sentence says that Lou would find a suit at the haberdashery, then

it must be a place where clothes for men are sold.

3. Contrast/Antonym Clues

Sometimes a word or phrase is clarified by the presentation of the opposite meaning

somewhere close to its use. Look for signal words when applying context clues.

Example: "Lou wanted to go to the haberdashery, but Ann wanted to shop at the boutique.”

The signal word but tells the reader that an opposite thought is going to be stated.

4. Inference/General Context Clues

Sometimes a word or phrase is not immediately clarified within the same sentence.

Relationships, which are not directly apparent, are inferred or implied. The reader must

look for clues within, before, and after the sentence in which the word is used.

Example: “The haberdashery was Lou’s favorite place. He loved shopping for nice suits.

The people who worked there were so kind and helpful.”

Readers can also use clues of punctuation and type style to infer meaning, such as

quotation marks (showing the word has a special meaning), dashes , parentheses or

brackets (enclosing a definition), and italics (showing the word will be defined).

5. Punctuation

Examples: Tom's father was a haberdasher, or men’s shop keeper, in the story.

Tom's father was a haberdasher (men’s shop keeper) in the story.

In the story, Tom's father was a haberdasher-or men’s shop keeper.

Tom's father was a “haberdasher”. He had a clothing store for men.​

Read the point that is being made and the illustration that follows it. point: gilgamesh is a courageous leader. illustration: enkidu is frightened of humbaba and wants to turn back, but he tells gilgamesh, "you go into the dreadful forest, you kill humbaba and win the fame.” which explanation best connects this illustration to the point being made? enkidu also tells gilgamesh that he “will return now to great-walled uruk” and that all men will know he has been a coward. although enkidu fears for his own life, he is thoughtless and does not necessarily fear for the lives of others. enkidu is deeply fearful of humbaba, and he strongly believes that gilgamesh has the courage and ability to defeat humbaba alone. this proves that enkidu does not believe that anyone can defeat humbaba, even if he thinks gilgamesh should at least try.
