Use your context clues to figure out the meaning of the word. Amy wanted nothing left behind, so every small piece or evidence of the luncheon was cleared away. “A part that is less developed...” concerns things like organs or body parts that do not function, and “a visible sign left behind…” would mean that some remnant did remain as evidence of the luncheon. Nothing in the context indicates clothing.
