Question

the world-record champ as a boy, ashrita furman loved finding out about world records. he wanted to set records of his own, too, but he wasn’t super strong or fast. ashrita did lack sports skills, but he had plenty of ideas about how to set records. look at the meaning of lack in the chart. which clues help you understand what lack means? word lack clues?? meaning to not have something

Explanation:

To find clues for "lack", we analyze the context. The sentence "wasn't super strong or fast" shows he didn't have physical abilities, and "but he had plenty" (contrasting with "lack") implies "lack" means not having. So the clues are "wasn't super strong or fast" and "had plenty" (the contrast helps).

Answer:

The clues that help understand "lack" are: 1. "wasn't super strong or fast" (shows he didn't have certain physical capabilities, parallel to lacking sports skills) 2. "had plenty" (the contrast with "lack" implies "lack" is the opposite of having plenty, i.e., not having).
