Question

use the context clues in the sentence to answer the question. the aroma of oregano, garlic, and sun - dried tomatoes simmering filled the apartment as carolyn prepared dinner for her friends. what does the word aroma mean in the sentence? (1 point) spices food cooking smell

Explanation:

The sentence describes something (aroma) coming from ingredients (oregano, garlic, sun - dried tomatoes) that are simmering. When ingredients are cooking, they give off a smell. "Spices" are just one part (oregano and garlic are spices here, but the aroma is more than just the spices), "food" is too general as it's about the scent while cooking, not the food itself, "cooking" is the action. The context of something filling the apartment (a sensory perception) points to "smell".

Answer:

smell
