Answer:
look around the word to see how it is used
replace the word with a more familiar word
Explanation:
It is common to read a text that has an unknown word, or difficult to understand, which makes it difficult to understand the text. The most common in these cases is for the reader to look for a dictionary that shows the meaning of the reading, but this can disrupt the reading pace. To avoid this, the reader can observe the words that are presented around the unknown word and identify the context that these words present. Through this context, the reader can understand what the meaning of the unknown word is and how it fits into that sentence.
The reader can also replace this unknown word with a similar word that he knows the meaning of. However, be careful with this strategy, as there are many false cognates in the language, which are similar words that have different meanings.
