Which set of context clues best points to the correct definition of undergrowth in the second sentence?
Certain trees, in fact, produce seeds only when fire heats them. If the fire removes thick shrubs and undergrowth, the water
supply increases, aiding other plants and local animals. Fire also may kill predatory insects or pests that live on and damage
otherwise healthy trees

Answer:

Water, plants, animals

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

  • thick shrubs, plants, trees
  • insects, pests, fire
  • seeds, fire, animals
  • water, plants, animals

When we're unsure about what a word means, the context it is used in is very important. It can help us partially or fully determine the meaning of a word.

Here, we have the word undergrowth, which refers to small trees, bushes, ferns, and other plants that grow beneath taller trees in a forest. Other words that can help us determine its meaning (called context clues) are water, plants, and animals. Water, plants, and animals are all located on the forest floor, where the undergrowth can be found as well.
