Read the quotation below. Then, determine the definition of servitude and list three context clues which contribute to the definition.

". . . he (the horse) was suddenly reduced to painful servitude to pass his life under the harness and the curb, amid, perhaps, the din and dust and drudgery of cities."

Break it up. I organize things like this in charts to determine context clues.
