1. Definition/Explanation Clues.
These are clues that are a word or phrase, and its meaning is explained right after its use. An example would be "Buckle, which is a store for male and females that sells jeans, shirts, and boots, is becoming more popular today."

2. Restatement/Synonym Clues.
This is a hard word or phrase said in a sympial way. An example of this is, "Dale was sent to the haberdashery to find a new suit. He needed one to wear to his Uncle's Wedding." Because the sentence say Dale would find a suit at the Haberdashery, we can conclude that a haberdashery is 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. An example of this would be, "Dale 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. Interference/General Context Clues
This is when a word or phrase is not immediately explained. The reader must look for clues within, before, and after the word or phrase is used. An example of this is, "The haberdashery was Dale's favorite place. He liked shopping for nice suites. The people who worked there were so kind and helpful." From this, we can tell that the haberdashery has to be a place that you can shop, and that is sells nice suites.

5. Punctuation
We can also use clues of punctuation to infer meanings. Like quotation marks, dashes, parathe these, italics, and brackets. Examples of this are, "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."

Hope this helps!! :)

Asap plz which sentence from this excerpt of jefferson davis’s inaugural address indicates that secession was the confederacy’s way of reclaiming its legal powers? an agricultural people, whose chief interest is the export of a commodity required in every manufacturing country, our true policy is peace, and the freest trade which our necessities will permit . . there can be but little rivalry between ours and any manufacturing or navigating community, such as the northeastern states of the american union. it must follow, therefore, that a mutual interest would invite good will and kind offices. if, however, passion or the lust of dominion should cloud the judgment or inflame the ambition of those states, we must prepare to meet the emergency and to maintain, by the final arbitrament of the sword, the position which we have assumed among the nations of the earth. we have entered upon the career of independence, and it must be inflexibly pursued. through many years of controversy with our late associates, the northern states, we have vainly endeavored to secure tranquillity, and to obtain respect for the rights to which we were entitled. as a necessity, not a choice, we have resorted to the remedy of separation; and henceforth our energies must be directed to the conduct of our own affairs, and the perpetuity of the confederacy which we have formed. if a just perception of mutual interest shall permit us peaceably to pursue our separate political career, my most earnest desire will have been fulfilled. but, if this be denied to us, and the integrity of our territory and jurisdiction be assailed, it will but remain for us, with firm resolve, to appeal to arms and invoke the blessings of providence on a just cause . .
