In May, Julianne had an operation to remove the cancerous cells from the lining of her cervix. The surgery to remove the cells was painful in the days immediately following the procedure, but it was the chemotherapy treatments that were the most debilitating. For several days after each of the six treatments, Julianne was unable to get out of bed. The physical pain coupled with the extreme bouts of nausea and vomiting were more than she thought she could bear. While her hair became thin and brittle during the treatments, she did not lose it entirely. In paragraph four, what type of context clues does the author provide for a reader to determine the meaning of the word debilitating? A) contrast B) examples C) synonyms Eliminate D) repetition
