Answer the following questions. Your answers should be clear and short.Guess the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence and tell what context clue is used.Indian artisits were more active in quattrocentothan in the sixteenth century which followed.
【正确答案】：

THE CONTEXT IS WORD STRUCTURE. 

QUATTROCENTO: "THE 15TH CENTURY AS A PERIOD IN ART AND ARCHITECTURE," 1847, FROM ITALIAN QUATTROCENTO, LITERALLY "FOUR HUNDRED," SHORT FOR MILLE QUATTROCENTO "ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED," IN REFERENCE TO A PERIOD BEGINNING IN "1400".

【题目解析】：本句使用的是词的结构法来猜测词义。Quattrocento：“十五世纪作为一个艺术和建筑时期”，1847年来自意大利，字面意思是“四百”，简称“一千四百”，指的是一个始于“1400”的时期。Quattro用来指代四， cento用来指代世纪。
