Read the excerpt from the story Animals in the Zoo:

(7) They arrived at the zoo right when it opened at 10:00 a. m. There were three other people in line for the BikeAbout. A small group is good, Rueben thought. That meant that the guide would have time to answer all his questions, and there would be many chances to take pictures.

(8) "Welcome to the San Francisco Zoo," the guide said as he started the tour. "My name is Preston, and I have been a zoo guide for the last seven years. I know everything about the animals here at the zoo, so feel free to ask me anything you want to know about them." Rueben's mom saw Rueben crack a huge smile. He loved asking questions and learning about all of the animals at the zoo. She figured that by this point, he would have already asked everything he wanted to know, but he always found new questions to ask.

put the excerpt in the comments and ill answer.

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.

(; i do hope this is useful to you!     < 3

voracity is the noun corresponding to the adjective voracious, which means (1) eager to consume a great amount of food, or (2) marked by an insatiable appetite. veracity is far more common than the rare voracity, so the latter is sometimes used in place of the former.
