Identify Context Clue Types

Identify the context-clue type in each: (1) 'A warrant — the reasoning that connects evidence to claim — is required.' (2) 'The witness corroborated the story — she confirmed it from another angle.' (3) 'Unlike a vague hunch, a claim must be defensible.' (4) 'After the storm, the trees were bedraggled, hanging low and weighed down.' (5) 'Many tools can corroborate evidence: photographs, eyewitness accounts, expert reports.'

1. Definition = word directly defined; restatement = paraphrased; example = illustrated; contrast = signaled by but/however/unlike; inference = deduced from situation.
2. Distinguish definition (formal) from restatement (paraphrased nearby).

• Misses contrast clue when not explicitly 'but' (e.g., 'unlike').
