Hello. You did not say what text this question refers to, which makes it impossible for the question to be answered accurately. However, to try to help you, I will show you how you can find the main argument of a text. I hope this helps.
The main argument of a text is usually found in the first sentence of the text, with the other phrases being used to support and prove the relevance of the argument and the accuracy it has. It can happen the other way around too, and the main argument is in the last sentence.
In short, an author's main argument in the text is the idea he is defending. This idea can be identified because the author is positioning himself on something, showing something that must be observed.
Going into this last dive, Archie is in a tough spot: He will need an
almost perfect score in order to secure the gold. You can tell the fans
are anxious as the numbers flash on the scoreboard. It's very unlikely
that Archie can achieve a high enough score with the dive he has
planned, so, realistically, he has only two hopes left: He can attempt a
more difficult dive to gain more points, or his next-closest opponent, Li,
could falter. Otherwise, it seems certain that Archie will be locked out
of gold-medal contention.
Which best states the central idea of the passage?
A. Archie needs to achieve a perfect score on his next dive.
B. A more difficult dive is risky but ultimately the best option.
O C. It is not likely that Archie will win a gold medal.
D. Li has been known to falter under pressure.
Answer:
I think it is B

How does the dictionary definition of Internecine differ from that of your context clue definition?
Answer:
The Dictionary Definition is the straight-forward answer, while the context clue is the definition from ones' own words.
Explanation:
To further explain this, The definition(s) from the Dictionary are a more "higher-up" explanation of a word. But for a context clue, you're looking at the different connotations of the words around the one single word trying to be defined. It's more of an educated guess than anything else.
I hope this helps, and that you understand what I mean haha.

1. What are the flaws of Walton's character?
Frankenstein
Answer:
Walton’s letters to his sister form a frame around the main narrative, Victor Frankenstein’s tragic story. Walton captains a North Pole–bound ship that gets trapped between sheets of ice. While waiting for the ice to thaw, he and his crew pick up Victor, weak and emaciated from his long chase after the monster. Victor recovers somewhat, tells Walton the story of his life, and then dies. Walton laments the death of a man with whom he felt a strong, meaningful friendship beginning to form.
Walton functions as the conduit through which the reader hears the story of Victor and his monster. However, he also plays a role that parallels Victor’s in many ways. Like Victor, Walton is an explorer, chasing after that “country of eternal light”—unpossessed knowledge. Victor’s influence on him is paradoxical: one moment he exhorts Walton’s almost-mutinous men to stay the path courageously, regardless of danger; the next, he serves as an abject example of the dangers of heedless scientific ambition. In his ultimate decision to terminate his treacherous pursuit, Walton serves as a foil (someone whose traits or actions contrast with, and thereby highlight, those of another character) to Victor, either not obsessive enough to risk almost-certain death or not courageous enough to allow his passion to drive him.

Explanation:
Read the following excerpt from Little Women.
"Really, girls, you are both to be blamed," said Meg, beginning to lecture in her elder-sisterly fashion. "You are old enough to leave off boyish tricks, and to behave better, Josephine. It didn't matter so much when you were a little girl, but now you are so tall, and turn up your hair, you should remember that you are a young lady."
"I'm not! And if turning up my hair makes me one, I'll wear it in two tails till I'm twenty," cried Jo, pulling off her net, and shaking down a chestnut mane. "I hate to think I've got to grow up, and be Miss March, and wear long gowns, and look as prim as a China Aster! It's bad enough to be a girl, anyway, when I like boy's games and work and manners! I can't get over my disappointment in not being a boy. And it's worse than ever now, for I'm dying to go and fight with Papa. And I can only stay home and knit, like a poky old woman!"
Tabitha is taking part in a group discussion about Little Women. In her discussion group, one participant states, “I think it must have been very difficult to be a female during this time period.”
How could Tabitha best respond to show that she is being an active listener?
“I’m sorry, I didn’t hear what you said. Could you repeat it, please?”
“I do not understand that comment at all or why it was even made.”
“I agree and think that women often had to fight to be themselves.”
“I think Jo sounds a lot like my little sister when she complains.”
Answer:
I would say that the best response for Tabitha here would be "I agree and think that women often had to fight to be themselves.".
Explanation:
This would show that she is agreeing to what her one participant stated; “I think it must have been very difficult to be a female during this time period.” The response I chose would show that Tabitha agrees, meaning she was listening, and even restates what her participant said, thus meaning she really was listening. Hope this helped.
Answer:
“I agree and think that women often had to fight to be themselves.”
