Question

\will you play baseball here?\ mark asked. \you played great in venezuela. dont you have a fire to play now, too?\ \i do want to play — very much. but my dad works a lot. he cant drive me to practices,\ i told him. \i play baseball, too,\ mark said. \my mom could take both of us!\ mark just doesnt get bored when it comes to fixing problems. he never seems to tire of helping. \we can talk to the coach tomorrow,\ i said. which of these clues helps you understand what \tire\ means?

Explanation:

The phrase "doesn't get bored" is a context clue. Since "tire" is used in a similar context (Mark never seems to tire of helping), it can be inferred that "tire" means to become bored or lose interest. This is a common technique in language learning where synonyms or related phrases in the text help determine the meaning of an unfamiliar word.

Answer:

"doesn't get bored"
