When using context clues to determine the meaning of unknown words, we should look for:
- antonyms
- definitions
- synonyms
All of these can provide helpful information. However, if you need to choose only two from the given options, antonyms and synonyms are often the most directly useful. Definitions can also be beneficial but are sometimes less common as context clues.
So the best approach is:
- antonyms
- synonyms
If you need to select just one response, definitions could also be considered if it is explicitly provided in the surrounding text.
