Question

Hi i need help ASAP. Which definition of the word miniscule can be determined using context clues from this passage?

I barely opened my mouth and ate the most meager, miniscule bite of my clam chowder, because I thought it was disgusting.


unappetizing

tiny

delicious

sloppy

Answer 1

Tiny

If you read the whole sentance, it says it was disgusting.

So obviously its tiny.

Step-by-step explanation:

I barely opened my mouth and ate the most meager, tiny bite of my clam chowder, because I thought it was disgusting.

Answer 2

The answer would be tiny
Context clues: Before the word minuscule, the sentence used the word meager. Meager means of something provided or available) lacking in quantity or quality. In other words, tiny. And you know that it wouldn’t be unappetizing because they say at the end of the sentence that the reason they took a small bite was because it was disgusting. If minuscule meant unappetizing it wouldn’t make sense. And i don’t think i need to explain why it wouldn’t be either delicious or sloppy. Hope this helped and wasn’t too confusing
