Students analyze context clues to determine word meanings and identify clue types. Part A has four multiple-choice questions about meticulous in a student sentence, desolate in a post-storm market, and identifying a clue type from a definition example. Part B has five fill-in-the-blank problems about what 'or' introduces, when to infer meaning, and what frigid means in context.
Inference questions — where no explicit clue exists — require students to use the whole sentence as evidence.
