To match each underlined word to its correct meaning based on the context of the sentence, you can break down the process into a few steps:
1. Read and understand the sentences: Read each sentence carefully and try to grasp the overall context and meaning.
2. Identify the underlined words: Identify the words that are underlined in each sentence. In this case, the underlined words are: "treacherous," "precarious," "last," "propitiatory," and "propitious."
3. Determine the meaning of each word: Analyze the context of each sentence to determine the meaning of the underlined word. Consider the words or phrases around it that may provide clues.
4. Match the words to their meanings: Once you've determined the meaning of each underlined word, match them to the correct meaning based on the context of the sentence.
Here are the matching pairs based on their meanings:
- "Treacherous": Dangerous
- "Precarious": Both dangerous and favorable (as it mentions both deep sloughs and precarious footholds)
- "Last": Both final and bleak (as it refers to the last foothold and a dreary memento)
- "Propitiatory": Conciliatory
- "Propitious": Favorable
Now you can drag each word to its corresponding box based on the determined meanings.
