Answer 1

The clearest context clue for the word "theatrically" in the sentence is the phrase "she’s a drama major." This phrase indicates that Annie is studying drama, which suggests that her groaning is exaggerated in a manner similar to how an actor might perform on stage, thus providing context for "theatrically."
