Answer 1

Based on the context of the sentence, the word "precipitation" can most likely be defined as different forms of water that fall from the atmosphere, such as rain, sleet, and snow.

The context clues present in the sentence are: "every type of," "including," and the specific examples of "rain, sleet, and snow." These clues suggest that precipitation refers to various forms of water that fall from the sky.

Therefore, the type of context clue used here is exemplification or examples, and the signal words are "including" and "such as."
