How can an antonym in a context clue help a reader discover the meaning of a word?(1 point)

It gives the definition of the unknown word.

It restates the meaning of the unknown word.

It provides a contrast to the unknown word.

It replaces the unknown word with a familiar one.

I chose B, although I think it's C.

C is the correct answer. An antonym provides a contrast to the unknown word, which can help the reader deduce the meaning of the word. For example, if the reader encounters the word "ascend" and is not familiar with it, seeing the antonym "descend" in the context clue can help them understand that "ascend" means to go up or climb.

Yup, I figured that. Thanks! :)
