Question

everyone dove into a tent. they didn’t see the baby deer, and they didn’t cook a big meal over a campfire. instead, they ate a light supper of cold sandwiches — inside their tents. complete the chart. what does light mean in this passage? word: light, clue: didn’t cook a big meal, meaning: ?, options: starting to burn, brightly shining

Explanation:

The clue "didn't cook a big meal" shows that the supper was not large or heavy. The word "light" here means something like "small" or "not heavy" in terms of the meal's size/richness. The options "starting to burn" and "brightly shining" don't fit the context of a meal. So we need to identify the correct meaning related to the meal's nature. (Note: Since the full options aren't all visible, but based on context, the correct meaning should be related to the meal being small or simple, like "small in amount, not heavy or large" (though the exact option text isn't fully shown, the reasoning is about context clues for word meaning in a passage, which is a language/Arts - Linguistics or Semantics subfield problem).)

Answer:

(Assuming the correct option related to "small/simple (meal)" is the answer, but since full options aren't shown, based on context, the meaning of "light" here is "small in quantity, not heavy or elaborate" for the supper. If we had to pick from typical options, it would be the one that means the meal is not big, like "small" or "simple" - but since the given options in the image (partially) don't include that, maybe there's a missing option, but from the clue, the meaning is related to the meal being not big, so the correct meaning is something like "small - sized, not heavy" for the meal.)
