Question

determine the meaning of the underlined word in the sentence below using context clues. the colorful shirt i wore made my hiding spots extremely conspicuous during the game of hide-and-seek. noticeable, obvious; secretive, hidden; lighthearted, happy

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "conspicuous", we analyze the context. In a hide - and - seek game, a colorful shirt would make hiding spots easy to see. "Secretive, hidden" is the opposite of what a colorful shirt would do. "Lighthearted, happy" has nothing to do with the visibility of hiding spots. "Noticeable, obvious" fits as a colorful shirt would make hiding spots stand out.

Answer:

A. noticeable, obvious
