Lots of !make sure it's correct ! i promise brainlist if it is use context clues to determine the meaning of the italicized word in the sentence below an umpire should be impartial, showing no preference for either team. a. biased b. fair c. focused d. cold

Explanation:

The word means the opposite of biased.

An umpjre has to be focussed but that's not the answer.

Hot/Cold has nothing to do with it.

Impartial means that he shows no preference for either team. He is fair which is the closest, but not the best.

explanation:

answer: inference

explanation:

an inference can be understood as a conclusion to which a person is able to get based on reasoning. it is the same as a deduction, a guess, an assumption.   in the sentence presented, the conjunction "but" gives the readers an idea of contrast, and, therefore, allows them to induce that despite the opponent's characteristics, andrea had something different that made her win.
