The option that is NOT a good tip for determining the meaning of a symbol is:
Ignore the symbol and assume the author made a mistake.
This approach dismisses the potential significance of the symbol and does not engage with the text in a meaningful way. The other options involve active analysis and consideration of the context, which are essential for understanding symbols in literature.
