use context clues to determine the meaning of subdued as it is used in the text. write your definition of subdued here and identify clues that helped you figure out its meaning. (reading hint: vo means \voice - over\. remember, this story is written as a screenplay.)
vo
yo, harmon, you gonna eat something? come on and get your breakfast, man. ill take your eggs if you dont want them. you want them?
steve (subdued)
im not hungry.

Explanation:

The context shows someone (VO) is trying to get Steve to eat breakfast enthusiastically while Steve simply replies "I'm not hungry" in a quiet - manner. The word "subdued" here likely means quiet or not showing much energy. The clue is Steve's short, unenthusiastic response compared to the more energetic tone of VO.

Answer:

Quiet or not showing much energy.
