1. capable of withstanding shock

The contextual clue in this sentence is that the boxer got up every time he was knocked down. This shows that he can withstand shock. Resilient doesn't necessarily mean unbeatable. Someone can be beaten and still get back up.

2. mucus

The contextual clue here is that he is sick and that phlegm can be added to. Headaches and sleepiness are not usually described in ways that can be added to. Weight is, but that usually doesn't have to do with being sick.

3. territory

The contextual clue here is home and sniffed around for hours. We know that home and territory are both places. A dog also doesn't usually sniff toys or a bowl for hours.

4. crazed thoughts

The contextual clue here is night fever. Fevers can cause irrational thoughts and behavior that make a person seem crazy.

5. harsh

The contextual clue in this sentence is that she speaks shortly. Often a person speaking shortly has a harsh tone to his/her voice.
