to determine the precise meaning of a word, what should the reader consider? choose three answers.
□ context clues
□ ellipsis
□ inversion
□ tone
□ word choice

Explanation:

To determine a word's precise meaning:

• Context clues: Surrounding text gives hints about the word's meaning.
• Tone: The author's attitude (e.g., formal, ironic) can clarify word intent.
• Word choice: How the word is used alongside others helps define it.

Ellipsis (omission of words) and inversion (word order reversal) don’t directly aid in meaning determination.

Answer:

• context clues
• tone
• word choice
