Boldface words

Multisyllabic words

Answer 1

old question but will respond so this can be closed

process of elimination:

"boldface words" is a bad answer (bolding a word doesn't really help you make comparisons. it's used to emphasize one word/phrase.)
"multisyllablic words" is not a good answer either. a word having multiple syllables does not mean that it's better at making comparisons.

you're left with signal and research words. look up the definitions of each of these words if you're still having trouble deciding.
