How can an antonym in a context clue help a reader discover the meaning of a word? (1 point)

An antonym in a context clue gives a contrasting word or phrase (often signaled by words like "but," "however," or "instead"), so the reader can infer the unknown word's meaning by knowing its opposite. Example: "She was elated, not despondent" → elated = very happy.
