Question

use the context clues in the sentence. the next day was bleak and gray - so different from the cheery, blue sky of the day before. what does the underlined word mean? cold and unpleasant warm and perfect bright and peaceful

Explanation:

The word "bleak" is contrasted with "cheery" (which implies positive, pleasant). "Gray" also gives a sense of dullness. "Cold and unpleasant" fits this contrast as it is negative, while "warm and perfect" and "bright and peaceful" are positive like "cheery".

Answer:

cold and unpleasant
