Question

determine word meanings using context clues 3 — quiz — level c the baseball team was on a camping trip in the woods. luca loved camping. mark had come along with the team, but the woods made him nervous. luca said, \let’s go find sticks for the campfire.\ mark froze. \but we already have logs.\ \sticks are important!\ luca said. \they’re a key part of starting the fire.\ what does \key\ mean in this passage? cannot burn easily larger than usual used for walking matters very much

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "key" in the passage, we analyze the context. Luca says sticks are important for starting the fire, so "key" here means something that matters very much. The other options don't fit: "cannot burn easily" refers to fire - resistance, "larger than usual" is about size, and "used for walking" is irrelevant.

Answer:

matters very much
