Answer:

Context clues

Explanation:

When we are reading and find an unusual or unknown word within a text, we can use the surrounding information to help comprehend the meaning of that word, as well as its pronunciation, when we do this, we are using the context clues. There are many types of context clues, for example, to find out the meaning of a word, we can look for synonyms within the sentence or the text that refers to that unknown word, for antonym that may reveal us the meaning of the word by contrast, or for examples related to that word.

In the following example, we can look for synonyms as a context clue to have an idea of what "clandestine" means:

<em>No one will ever discover what they would call "a </em><u><em>clandestine</em></u><em> place", I don't think neither of us would open their mouth after all that we have gone through in here, only the four of us, in our own little </em><u><em>secret</em></u><em> home.</em>
