Question

Read the sentence below and answer the following questions
please stop your incessant whining;it is not going to help your cause.
Use context to determine the meaning of incessant.
Soft
Pleasant
Unending
Well-founded

Answer 1

Hi! 

Based on context clues, we can tell that the speaker is not enjoying the whining, so we can rule out soft and pleasant. 

Well-founded is an adjective describing a belief or suspicion that a person has as based on facts, saying that whining is well-founded is saying that the whining has a good base or is for a good reason. 

This would make sense, however the speaker says that the whining is not going to help this person's cause, meaning we can rule out well-founded. 

This leaves C. Unending

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer: Unending

Explanation:

When we read and find an unusual or unknown word within a text, we can use the surrounding information to help comprehend the meaning of that word, that is to say, we can use context clues. In the sentence, the word "please", the imperative verb "stop" and the noun "whining", which refers to a high-pitched complaining cry or sound that it is so annoying that it feels like it would not stop, are all indicators that the adjective "incessant" refers to something that has no stop, no pause, no end, in other words, that is unending.
