Now Annie was in bed, groaning theatrically---she's a drama major---- but I told my mother I'd go anyway. I hadn't seen my grandmother since she'd been admitted to Lawnrest.
Which of the following is the clearest context clue for theatrically?
"she'd been admitted"
"Annie was bed"
"I hadn't seen my grandmother"
"she's a drama major"

The clearest context clue for theatrically is "she's a drama major." This information suggests that Annie might be exaggerating or expressing her emotions dramatically in bed.
