Based on the context, what does "inscrutable" most nearly mean?
Aidealistic and dreamy
Bdifficult to understand or interpret
Chidden in plain sight
Dethical and honest
Solution & Explanation:The clue "or difficult to read" narrows "inscrutable" to the meaning "difficult to understand or interpret." The distractors do not match the way the word is used in the passage.

Which context-clue category best describes the clue for "pusillanimous"?

Bsynonym clue
Cantonym or contrast clue
Dexample clue
Solution & Explanation:The passage uses a definition clue to make the meaning clear; that clue points to "showing a lack of courage; cowardly."

Cgenerous with resources
Dunclear or having two possible meanings
Solution & Explanation:When "equivocal" is read with the clue "it said the trip 'might proceed if conditions improve,' so students could not tell whether it was approved," the closest wording is "unclear or having two possible meanings."
