Explanation:

Common strategies could include using context - clues (looking at the words around the unfamiliar word to infer meaning), consulting a dictionary, or breaking the word into parts (prefixes, suffixes, root words) to understand its meaning.

Answer:

I used context - clues by examining the sentences and paragraphs around the unfamiliar words to infer their meanings. I also considered breaking the words into prefixes, suffixes, and root words to determine their definitions. Additionally, I might have used a dictionary to look up the words for a more precise meaning.
