Analyze the context sentences

The passage states: "Megan's animosity toward her younger sister Cassie was very clear. Even guests who entered the home felt her hatred, but only Grandma Mayer knew the reason for it."

We need to use Context Clues to determine the meaning of the word "animosity."

Identify the synonym clue

Using Synonym Clues, we look for a word in the surrounding sentences that has a parallel structure and a similar meaning to "animosity."

• Sentence 1: "Megan's animosity toward her younger sister Cassie was very clear."
• Sentence 2: "Even guests who entered the home felt her hatred..."

The word "hatred" is used in a parallel way to describe what Megan feels toward Cassie, serving as a direct synonym clue for "animosity."

Determine the meaning of animosity

Since "hatred" is the synonym clue, "animosity" means a strong feeling of dislike, ill will, or hatred. Among the given options:

• "incredible liveliness" (incorrect)
• "strong hostility" (correct, as hostility is a synonym for hatred)
• "apparent connection" (incorrect)

Address the second question

The image displays two questions:

1. "What does the word animosity mean?"
2. "Which word provides a synonym clue?"

For the first question, the correct option from the dropdown menu is "strong hostility."
For the second question, the word in the text that provides the synonym clue is "hatred."
