To determine which sentence uses a synonym as a context clue, we need to identify sentences where a word or phrase is used to give the reader a clue about the meaning of an unfamiliar word. Let's look at the options:
A. "Jim was as angry as a bear when he heard the news." In this sentence, the phrase "as angry as a bear" is giving the reader a clue about the meaning of the word "angry" by comparing it to a bear's anger. However, this is not using a synonym as a context clue.
B. "The flower garden was vibrant; it was very lively!" In this sentence, the word "lively" is used as a synonym for "vibrant" to describe the flower garden. Here, a synonym is used as a context clue, as "lively" helps the reader understand the meaning of "vibrant."
C. "Rather than being truculent, Charles was easygoing." While this sentence contrasts "truculent" with "easygoing," it doesn't use a synonym as a context clue.
D. "Mala was tenacious; she didn't give up easily!" This sentence uses the word "tenacious" to describe Mala, but it doesn't provide a synonym as a context clue.
So, the sentence that uses a synonym as a context clue is option B: "The flower garden was vibrant; it was very lively!"
