Question

Use the sentence to complete the activity.

Be careful when lighting a match in the science lab— there are flammable liquids in there!

In 1–2 sentences, explain the meaning of flammable as it is used in the sentence, as well as the context clues that helped you determine this meaning.

Answer 1

"Flammable" means able to catch fire or burn easily. I knew this because the sentence warns about lighting a match and mentions liquids in a science lab—these clues show the liquids could ignite if exposed to a flame.
