Words in context
Meaning from the sentence.
Using clues
Definition, contrast, example and cause clues narrow an unfamiliar word. In comprehension questions, the intended sense is usually not the most common one.
- Substitute your guess back into the sentence to test it.
- Technical fields use ordinary words in specific ways.
Do not stop
One unknown word rarely blocks understanding of a paragraph. Reading on often supplies the meaning, and stopping breaks the thread.
