The underlined words in the sentences are identified thus;
- 1. My brother is an<u> aficionado</u>, a person who is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about an activity, subject, or pastime. (DIE: Definition or Explanation)
- 2. That's absolutely a <u>ridiculous</u> price for a sweater. I can't find any reason for it to become so expensive. (GC: General Clue)
- 3. Her traumatic experience made her a self-centered and <u>callous </u>young woman. She became hard-hearted and showed no sympathy for others. (RIS: Restatement or Synonym)
- 4. Liza <u>imitated</u> the house design of her neighbor but her husband changed it to add another window. (CIA: Contrast or Antonym)
- 5. His <u>stalwart </u>(marked by outstanding strength and vigor of body, mind, or spirit) son, applied to join the army. (PC: Punctuation Clue)
Reading the whole text can help in the identification of the context clue being used. In the first sentence, for example, the complex word, aficionado is quickly followed by a definition.
In the second sentence, a General clue is employed as we read the sentence to the end. The reader stresses by implication that ridiculous means expensive.
In the third sentence, self-centered and callous are restated to mean hard-hearted and being without sympathy.
The same logic can be applied to the contrast and punctuation clues.
