Explanation:

Hi there,

The last choice is not a way to use context clues because it doesn't even help a student understand the meaning of the word. Noticing whether something is a vowel or a consonant will accomplish very little when you are trying to understand the meaning of a word.

Hope this answer helps. Cheers.
