Question

read the excerpt from the passage.
so they embarked on a campaign of hints: yawning.
commenting on how late it was getting. describing tasks
they had to complete early in the morning. growing
desperate, kai even went so far as trip on the cord,
unplugging the video game console.
what does the phrase \embarked on a campaign of hints\
mean as it is used in the excerpt?
(a) attempted different activities
(b) listed weekend chores
(c) made many strong suggestions
(d) offered some helpful advice

Explanation:

The phrase "campaign of hints" implies a series of strong suggestions. "Attempted different activities" (a) doesn't fit the context of "hints". "Listed weekend chores" (b) is too specific and not related to hints. "Offered some helpful advice" (d) is too mild compared to the intensity suggested by "campaign". "Made many strong suggestions" (c) aligns with the idea of a "campaign" (a coordinated series) of hints.

Answer:

C. made many strong suggestions
