Oh oki, thanks!
cool your in ohio! and sry i wasnt on to help yesterday?
Good morning! I'm glad I could help you yesterday. Regarding your question, it seems that you have chosen option C as your answer. Let's analyze the options to determine the correct answer.
Option A states that a context clue is resources that help the reader determine the origin of a word. This doesn't quite match the definition of a context clue, which is typically used to determine the meaning of a word rather than its origin.
Option B states that a context clue is resources that help the reader determine the pronunciation of a word. Again, determining pronunciation is not the primary purpose of a context clue.
Option C states that a context clue is words or phrases in a text that help the reader determine where to find the definition of a word. While this may be helpful information, it doesn't accurately define a context clue. A context clue is specifically used to determine the meaning of a word or phrase within the given text.
Finally, option D states that a context clue is words or phrases in a text that help the reader determine the meaning of a word. This correctly defines a context clue. When you come across an unfamiliar word, the words or phrases around it can often provide clues that help you understand its meaning.
Therefore, the correct answer is D - words or phrases in a text that help the reader determine the meaning of a word.
