Question

you take eli to the childrens sports section of the library. eli grabs a book about football and asks you if you can read it with him to gain his library points. this is a great opportunity to help him not only learn about his favorite sport but also brush up on his reading skills. as he was reading to you, he came across the sentence, “during the championship game, the quarterback executed a flawless play, showcasing not only his individual talent but also the teams teamwork.” eli was very confused about the word executed. what strategy can help you understand an unknown word in a sentence? guessing its meaning and moving on skipping the word or sentence use the surrounding words or context asking a friend to help you figure it out

Explanation:

Using surrounding words or context, also known as context - clues, is a common and effective reading strategy to infer the meaning of an unknown word. Guessing and moving on may lead to misinterpretation, skipping the word or sentence disrupts comprehension, and asking a friend isn't always immediately available.

Answer:

Use the surrounding words or context
