1. What are the strategies to find the meaning  of an unknown  word by using context
clue?
Answer:
Strategies For Using Context Clues In Reading
1. Word Parts
The idea: Break down the different parts of a word—base word (word stem or
root word), prefixes, and suffixes—to figure out what it means. Some words have
a prefix only (reread), a suffix only (reading), both a prefix and a suffix
(prereading), a combination (unreadableness), or neither (read).

Discrimination
Dis-: not, opposite of, reverse, deprive of; apart, away
crimin: verdict, judicial decision; judgment
tion: indicates the word is a noun

2. Definition/explanation

The idea: Look for a definition or an explanation within the sentence.

• Discrimination or unfairly targeting one or more groups by those who perceive

themselves to be superior can cause distress.
• Vulnerable people are oftentimes in need of protection under certain laws so
others cannot take advantage of them.

3. Synonym

The idea: Words next to the unknown word can be a clue that there is a
synonym.
 • Discrimination or bias can cause distress toward the targeted group.
• When people know they are vulnerable or defenseless, they tend to protect
themselves to avoid harm.

4. Example

The idea: Providing examples of the unknown word can give readers a clue to
meaning.

• Like shunning smokers in restaurants by making them satisfy their habit

outside, discrimination targets a perceived undesirable group.
• Vulnerable people, such as young children, the elderly, or handicapped
individuals, might have protections under certain laws.Antonym/contrast

5. Antonym/contrast

The idea: opposite information about the unknown word can be offset by words
and phrases such as unlike, as opposed to, different from.

• Discrimination, as opposed to fairness for all people, can have damaging effects
on a targeted group.
• Vulnerable people, unlike those who can stand up for themselves, tend to be
the target of unethical or dangerous individuals.

6. Analogy

The idea: Comparisons of the word help to determine what it means.

• The ill effects of discrimination are like hateful, wicked tendrils gripping the
heart.
• Vulnerable people can be like fragile glass in need of care and attention.

7. Appositive
 The idea: Look for the grammatical structure of appositives which can provide a
definition, synonym, or example.

• Discrimination, the act of showing bias to one group, can have damaging
effects.
• The elderly and handicapped, a vulnerable group of individuals, have laws to
protect them from unethical individuals.

2. What is   definition of Definition/Explanation Clues and give the example in sentence?

One way to learn new words is through the context of the words around them. We
infer the meaning of these words from what's going on or what has already been
established in the text. Clues for deciphering a word's meaning can be rendered in
the form of anything from a subtle hint to a straight-out explanation, definition or
illustration. For example:

Definition context clues just spell out the meaning in a straightforward manner:

 Definition: In Britain, they call the trunk of a car the "boot."

 Definition: "The lingerie  department," she directed the confused customer, "is where
you'll find the bras and panties.

An explanation or illustration can also show the context of the word:

 Explanation: She looked at the random collection that had been thrown in the

packing box at the last minute—from toothpaste and razors to spatulas and sticky
notes. "Well, that's quite a melange, isn't it?" she remarked.
 Explanation: "No, no, that's just a crane fly, not a gigantic mosquito," he explained.

3. What is   definition of Antonym Clues and give the example in sentence?

Antonym context clues offer nearby words with opposite meanings.

 Antonym: "You look pretty content about it, not like you're all bent out of shape  at
all," he noted.
 Antonym: "No, no, that didn't literally happen," she said. "I
was speaking figuratively."
