Answer:
a) Using context clues
Explanation:
In literature, context clues are words or phrases, such as synonyms, antonyms, or metaphors, that are used as 'clues' or 'hints' when an unfamiliar or complicated word is used by the author. It allows the reader to <u>understand the meaning of the word in regard to the context it is used in.</u>
Context clues could be more useful in comparison to dictionaries because it allows the reader to comprehend the word in a more profound way by knowing <em>how the word could be used, in what context, how is it similar or different to other words</em>, etc. instead of only known the definition - which could also be complicated to understand in many cases.
This is taken from Ethan Frome By Edith Wharton. I can infer that it refers to the Chronicle of being traveling from Bettsbridge to Starkfield in pre-trolley days. This novel was created in 1911 and it was adapted into a film, called by the same name "Ethan Frome", in 1993.
