Question

use the sentences to answer the question.

a student is trying to understand the meaning of an unfamiliar word in a paragraph. the paragraph does not contain any examples of figurative language, and the student has already identified the unfamiliar word as a noun.

which strategy would work best in order for the student to define the word?

(1 point)

○ determine the part of speech.

○ examine sentence logic.

○ look for context clues.

○ identify idioms.

Explanation:

• Option "Determine the part of speech": The student already identified the word as a noun, so this is not helpful.
• Option "Examine sentence logic": This is too vague and not a direct strategy for defining a word.
• Option "Look for context clues": When trying to define an unfamiliar word, using context clues (like surrounding words, phrases, or the overall meaning of the sentence/paragraph) is a standard and effective strategy, especially since there's no figurative language or idioms here.
• Option "Identify idioms": The paragraph has no figurative language, so idioms (a type of figurative language) aren't present to help.

Answer:

C. Look for context clues
