1. thorough: jackie plans every party as thoroughly as if the president were coming, so she will make sure that eve ng has been considered on your big day. definition: what clues in the sentence lead you to your definition?

Explanation:

For the definition of "thoroughly" (and by extension "thorough"):

To find the definition of "thoroughly", we analyze the context. The sentence says Jackie plans every party as thoroughly as if the President were coming and she'll make sure everything has been considered. From "plans every party" and "everything has been considered", we can infer that "thoroughly" means in a detailed, careful, and comprehensive way (so "thorough" would mean detailed, careful, covering all aspects). The clues are the way she plans (as if a very important person like the President is coming) and the assurance that everything is considered, showing a comprehensive and careful approach.

Answer:

• Definition of "thorough" (since "thoroughly" is the adverb form): Detailed, careful, and comprehensive; covering all aspects or details.
• Clues: "plans every party as thoroughly as if the President were coming" (suggests a high - level, careful planning) and "make sure that everything has been considered" (shows a comprehensive approach, no detail is missed).

For the "What clues..." part:
The clues are "plans every party as thoroughly as if the President were coming" (implying a very careful and detailed planning, as one would do for a high - profile event) and "make sure that everything has been considered" (indicating that all details are taken into account, which is characteristic of being thorough).
