Question

use the context clues in the sentence. uncle john was so jolly and gregarious that his house was always full of guests, whom he was happy to see. what does the underlined word mean? challenging, difficult to befriend unhappy, grouchy and mean friendly, enjoying company

Explanation:

The sentence says Uncle John was "jolly" (which means happy and cheerful) and "gregarious" with his house full of guests he was happy to see. Context clues like "jolly" and the presence of guests imply a positive, social trait. "Friendly, enjoying company" fits as it aligns with having guests and a positive demeanor. The other options ("challenging, difficult to befriend" and "unhappy, grouchy and mean") are negative and don't match the context of a house full of welcome guests.

Answer:

friendly, enjoying company
