What is the meaning of the bold word in this sentence from Steve Lentz's It was Never about the Ketchup? In 3-5 sentences, explain what context clues or other strategies (word roots, affixes) you used to figure out the word's meaning. Be sure to use complete sentences and correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation in your response. H. J. Heinz's travel journal was the careful investigation of a keen, or sharp, mind…the analytical review of all that was learned, the deliberate recording of it all.
