The correct answer that describes a context clue is:
"Information in a text that helps the reader understand the meaning of a word."
To arrive at this answer, we can eliminate the other options by analyzing their descriptions and comparing them to the concept of a context clue.
- The first and third options mention dictionary definitions. While dictionaries can help with understanding word meanings, they are not necessarily examples of context clues directly within a text.
- The second option discusses descriptions that help readers visualize the author's words. This could be important for understanding the overall text but does not specifically refer to context clues.
Therefore, the answer option that specifically pertains to context clues is the first one. Context clues provide information within a text that assists readers in comprehending the meaning of a particular word.
