Determine the intended meaning of the underlined word by using context clues: as the sun begins to fade over the vast, flat terrain, the convoy slowly snakes around through orchards filled with row upon row of almond trees stretching as far as the eye can see. a. a group c. intruder b. animals d. none of the above

The correct answer is option letter “a”. Even though you did not indicate which word is the underlined one, one can infer that it is the word “convoy” thanks to the options and context. Taken from the book “A World Without Bees” by Alison Benjamin and Brian McCallum (2008), the word “convoy” makes reference to the group of bees that flies over orchards stretching their wings. In the previous sentences to this excerpt, the writers were talking about the bees, in plural. The word “convoy” has been used metaphorically and its intended meaning in this text is “a group”. One can replace the word “convoy” for “group” in that sentence maintaining the same meaning: “As the sun begins to fade over the vast, flat terrain, the group slowly snakes around through orchards…”. Another way to describe the group of bees would be “swarm”, since it is the collective noun for bees (a swarm of bees).

the correct answer would be d, i never like waking up.

explanation:

iambic tetrameter is a meter which is basically a line consisting of four feet of iambic and it is used in poetry. it consists of unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable. in this question, the only statement which is giving the feel of being stressed is option d, which says that i never like waking up. it means the person is feeling stressed whenever he wakes up. he never likes to wake up and and whenever he wakes up, he doesn't like it. so a sense or feel of being stressed is in this statement.
