wrong

Answer 2

The best reference resource for Amanda to consult first when she comes across a word she does not know in her textbook is **a dictionary**. A dictionary provides definitions, pronunciations, and usage of words, which would help her understand the term in context. The glossary could also be useful if the textbook has one, as it typically includes terms relevant to that particular text. However, since the question asks for what she should consult first, the dictionary is the most appropriate choice.

Answer 3

I apologize for the oversight. If the word is in her textbook, then she should consult **the glossary** first. The glossary of a textbook usually provides definitions for terms that are relevant to the content within that specific text, making it a suitable first resource. Thank you for your patience.
