Question

1. short constructed response prompt: how des milo uses both root meanings and context clues to figure out the meaning of new words? use the r.a.c.e. strategy—restate the question, answer it, cite specific text evidence, and explain how the evidence supports your answer.

Explanation:

Milo likely first identifies the root - words in new terms to get a basic sense of meaning. Then, he looks at the surrounding text (context clues) to confirm or modify that initial understanding. For example, if a word has a root meaning related to 'write' and in the text it is used in a sentence about sending a note, Milo can infer the word's meaning in that context.

Answer:

Milo uses root meanings to get a starting point for a word's meaning and context clues to refine and confirm that meaning. He might recognize a root like "scrib -" (related to writing) and then use the surrounding text about sending messages to figure out the exact meaning of a new word containing that root.
