Question

how do the underlined words contribute to the passage’s meaning?
1 they help the reader imagine how rehanas unique and stunningly beautiful paintings looked.
2 they suggest how rehanas academic abilities helped her

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the options:

1. The first option talks about the underlined words helping readers visualize Rehana’s paintings (unique, stunningly beautiful). If the underlined words relate to descriptive language about her art, this makes sense.
2. The second option links to academic abilities, which is unrelated to describing paintings.

The first option focuses on how the words help readers imagine Rehana’s paintings’ appearance (unique, beautiful), which aligns with analyzing word contribution to meaning (e.g., descriptive language for imagery). The second option incorrectly ties to academic abilities, irrelevant to painting description.

Answer:

1. They help the reader imagine how Rehana's unique and stunningly beautiful paintings looked.
