Answer:
Base Words If these words are unfamilar to you, analyze each one
to see whether it contains a base word you know. Then, use your
knowledge of the base word, or “inside” word, along with context, to
determine the meaning of the concept word. Here is an example of how
to apply the strategy.
Unfamiliar Word: skillful
Familiar “Inside” Word: skill, with meanings including “expertise”
and “learned power”
Context: I was astonished at the professor’s skillful ability to pass
along complicated information.
Conclusion: The narrator is impressed with someone’s ability, so
skillful might mean “with skill,” or “showing expertise.”
