Analyze context clues for questions 1 to 3

In this step, we use Reading Comprehension to match the definitions and synonyms in the sentences with the correct terms from the Word Bank.

• For Question 1, the phrase "or grab away" indicates a verb meaning to seize quickly. From the Word Bank, "snatch" fits perfectly.
• For Question 2, the phrase "in his blue-jeaned sitter" refers to a physical strike. The word "square" is used colloquially in the story to mean directly or straight.
• For Question 3, the phrase "or wrestling move" defines a physical hold. The term "half nelson" is a well-known wrestling hold.

Analyze context clues for questions 4 to 6

We continue applying Reading Comprehension to identify the remaining vocabulary terms based on their context.

• For Question 4, the phrase "or refrigerator" points directly to an older term for a cooling appliance. "icebox" is the correct match.
• For Question 5, the phrase "or respectable" is a synonym for looking clean and fit to be seen. "presentable" fits this description.
• For Question 6, the phrase "or sorry" describes an emotion of guilt. "ashamed" is the corresponding adjective.

Analyze context clues for questions 7 to 10

We complete the matching process using the remaining words in the Word Bank.

• For Question 7, "a leather with a soft, velvety surface" is the definition of "suede".
• For Question 8, "purse, or" indicates a synonym for a handbag. "pocketbook" is the correct term.
• For Question 9, "or attaching onto" describes the action of fastening or grabbing. "latching" fits this context.
• For Question 10, "or empty" is a synonym describing a bare or desolate space. "barren" is the correct adjective.
