Answer:

A). Predict the definition.

Explanation:

The readers are required to go through a number of steps or stages to understand the meaning of the unfamiliar text as then only they would be able to perceive the text comprehensively.

As per the question, the readers are required to 'predict the definition' after examining the context in order to decide the meaning of the unknown or unfamiliar word. The prediction helps in checking whether the predicted meaning(through context clues) goes with the meaning and context of the sentence or not and the readers would eventually be able to reach the actual meaning(as implied or suggested by the reader). Thus, option A is the correct answer.

The reader should predict the definition so as to know what the word means, at least vaguely. If not, he/she should consult a dictionary.

1. anxious confusion

2. that shared in the general awe and terror

When looking at the options with the context clues, we can eliminate any definitions that have a positive connotation. None of the context clues indicate that consternation would be something that is good. While the first option shows a negative connotation for consternation it is not specific enough to pinpoint a meaning for the word. The context clue "general awe and terror" indicates that there is confusion.
