Question

When should context clues be used?

Answer 1

Context clues are phrases or words that help you describe and illustrate a certain word in a phrase, sentence, clause or statement. This in turn guides readers to a certain plausible explanation of a unfamiliar and unrelatable conclusion and this can also reduce misconceptions and misinterpretations about a supposed phenomenon. The context clues in the given options are : his lunch from his kitchen table.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. When direct explanation of a word can be given.

3. When restatement by use of synonym can be used.

4. When a summary clue can give meaning.

5. When a general meaning will suffice.

7. When words in a series can clarify.

8. When personal experience clarifies the word.

Explanation:

Context clues is a technique that helps us infer the meaning of an unknown word by looking at the surrounding information of that word.

This technique can give us a general meaning of the word and should only be used when we do not need an exact meaning. Thus, this technique should not be used when the understanding of the passage depends on the definition of that unfamiliar word, when the same word is repeated several times and we don't have enough information to infer its meanings, and it should not be used when the word has several meanings because it can be confusing.
