He should add words that are similar to the unknown word.

Explanation:

The inclusion of explanation clues in a sentence is with the intention of giving a more and understandable explanations for any unknown word used. This allows the readers to understand the words that the writer used.

So, for a writer to provide explanation clues, he/she must add words that are similar to the unknown word. This is because similar words will help enable the reader to understand the word(s) used and also help them understand the whole sentence clearer.  Therefore, Lucas should add words similar to the unknown words.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

The answer is actually letter A) They asked us to inspect the bag, which meant looking at the stuff inside it.

Explanation:

There are basically 4 types of context clues:

1. definition/explanation clues;

2. restatement/synonym clues;

3. contrast/antonym clues;

4. gist/inference/general knowledge clues.

Explanation clues are the ones that define a word previously mentioned. They come right after the word and truly provide readers with an explanation of its meaning. That is precisely what we have in letter A. Right after the verb "inspect" is mentioned, the author of the sentence explains its meaning: to inspect --> meant looking at the stuff inside it.

Note: letter D is a synonym clue. The author is simply adding another verb that is a synonym, another way (to examine) to say the same thing (to inspect).

Word: withhold.

Synonym: retain.

Sentence:

The FBI withheld the data requested by the prosecutor; as a result, it retained the material and refused to provide further information.

Withhold means to refuse to give something that is due or requested. Similarly, its synonym retain signifies to keep possession of something.
