Question

1. anxious: whenever bob was more than an hour late, janice became very anxious.

definition:
what clues in the sentence lead you to your definition?

Explanation:

For the definition of "anxious":

The context clue is "Bob was more than an hour late". When someone is late (especially for a significant amount of time), the other person (Janice, in this case) is likely to feel worried, nervous, or uneasy. So "anxious" here means feeling worried, nervous, or uneasy, typically because of an uncertain or unwanted event (like Bob being very late) that causes concern.

For the clues: The phrase "Bob was more than an hour late" suggests a situation that would cause Janice to feel concerned or uneasy, which helps us infer the meaning of "anxious" as a feeling of worry or unease related to a potentially problematic situation (Bob's lateness).

Answer:

Definition: Feeling worried, nervous, or uneasy, especially due to a situation (like Bob's significant lateness) that causes concern.
Clues: The clue is "Bob was more than an hour late"—this situation of significant lateness would reasonably cause Janice to feel worried/uneasy, helping us deduce the meaning of "anxious".
