Answer:

The correct answer is: check the meaning.

Explanation:

When we see an unknown word in one text, the first thing we should do is check the meaning of the word in a dictionary. After that, we should memorize the word and try to use it in a certain context, in order to make sure we understood its meaning.

When we are predicting the meaning of the word, we can often make a mistake, because some words and their meanings can be quite unpredictable or illogical if someone doesn't know the etymology of the word or doesn't understand the scope of its use.

Answer: Option "2" is best suited to describe the view of other nations on the informality ways of Americans.

Explanation: Other people of other nations unlike Americans believe in formality as a form of respect especially towards elders, while they view informality as a form or disrespect. In a country like Asia where formality is practiced and preferred it would be wrong when an American addresses the Asians informality because his or her intentions would be interpreted as being rude.

In America and other European countries they believe informality is friendliness and openness towards the other person which to them is a virtue, regardless of age and status an American man would prefer to call you by your first name.
