Which type of context clue can be used to determine the meaning of the underlined word? As the winning team rushed onto the court to celebrate their last-second victory, the losing team headed to the locker room in dejection.
A.Description
B.Restatement
C. Example
D. Comparison

Respuesta :

Im not completely sure, but I believe that the answer would be D) Comparison because the losing team was compared to the winning teams celebration.

Hi!

The answer would be D, comparison.

This a comparison because you have two pairs of contrasting words. First you have the words win and lose, and then you have the words celebrate and dejection.

When you win and celebrate, you acknowledge a significant or happy day or event with a social gathering or enjoyable activity, and when you lose and are dejected, you are in a sad and depressed state in low spirits.

Because of the contrast in these two clauses, the sentence would be a comparison.
