Question

how do context clues help you determine the meaning of the word \squander\ in the sentence \dont squander your money, wasting it all on candy and treats for your brother\?
the word \wasting\ tells me that \squander\ must mean to spend all of ones money.
the word \money\ tells me that \squander\ must mean to donate money.
the word \candy\ tells me that \squander\ must mean to eat or consume.
the word \brother\ tells me that \squander\ must mean to

Explanation:

In the sentence, "wasting it all" directly clarifies the action of "squander"—it links the word to the idea of using money in a wasteful way, which aligns with the meaning of squander. Other options incorrectly connect "squander" to unrelated context words (donate, eat, keep) instead of the defining clue "wasting".

Answer:

The word "wasting" tells me that "squander" must mean to spend all of one's money.
