EXPLANATION:
In reading, it's unavoidable to encounter unfamiliar words that make a text or a passage complex
sometimes. The good thing in a sentence is, words support each other. And what we call these
words around an unfamiliar word are context clues. We can look for context clues as synonyms,
antonyms, examples, and definitions.

APPLICATION:
As a Truth Seeker, I will be able to read compositions without worrying about complexity. Context
clues would be helpful for me, especially now that we're going to read a lot of mythologies. It can
save me time from opening a dictionary.
