Which context clue would help you best determine the meaning of the word inexWaustible? Lincoln the Great
by Wilfred W. McClay (adapted excerpt)
The American Civil War and the enigmatic' man whose election in 1860 precipitated it hold an inexhaustible interest
for us. Thousands of volumes on both subjects have streamed out of publishing houses in the past century and a
half, covering every conceivable topic and vantage point, from arcana of military operations to probing, and
occasionally preposterous, efforts to explore Lincoln's psyche. Nor does this flow seem to be diminishing. We are
about to launch into a grand national celebration of the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth that may eclipse all such
previous commemorations.
