Read the sentence. andrea's opponent was honest and straightforward, but andrea used her guile to win the contest. what type of context clue in the sentence can be used to determine the meaning of guile? a definition a synonym an antonym an inference (not d)

The answer is an inference, because eventhough you know the meaning of honest and straightforward, the contrast used, through the but connector, lead us to guess the meaning of guile.

The correct answer is C. An antonym

Explanation:

In texts, a context clue refers to the hints provided by another word or words about the meaning of an unknown/ unfamiliar word, that help the reader to know the meaning of a specific word based on the words that are part of a sentence or section. Additionally, context clues can be of different types such as definition, synonym or antonym as they can provide different types of information about the unknown word. In the case presented, the unknown word is "guile" and the meaning of this is mainly suggested by the word "honest and straightforward" because the conjunction "but" tells the reader the qualities "honest and straightforward" are the opposite or an antonym of "guile" that means fraud or trickery and therefore, the context clue used is an antonym as opposite terms are included to understand the unknown word "guile".

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
