Question

excited, i snuck to my bedroom door to watch. my mother stopped preparing her salad, grinned, and said, \some people give up. not you. you knew it was important to pursue your dream, cal.\ she walked over to him and gave him a hug. which of these clues helps you understand what \pursue\ means?

Explanation:

The phrase "Some people give up. Not you." acts as a contrast clue. It implies that while others abandon (give up), the person in question does not. This contrast helps in understanding that "pursue" means to continue or strive for (the dream), as opposed to giving up.

Answer:

Some people give up. Not you.
