The type of context clue in the sentence "Andrea's opponent was honest and straightforward, but At" that can be used to determine:- a definition: The context clue here is "honest and straightforward," which suggests that the word "opponent" refers to someone who is truthful and direct. - a synonym: The context clue "honest and straightforward" provides a synonym for the word "opponent," indicating someone who is truthful and direct.- an antonym: The word "but" indicates a contrast, so the antonym for "honest and straightforward" would be implied as the opposite qualities, such as deceptive or dishonest.- an inference: The inference from this context clue is that Andrea's opponent possesses qualities of honesty and directness, contrasting with some unspecified expectation or assumption implied by the word "but."
