A reader is using syntax to determine the meaning of an unknown word in the scenario described in option **A**: "The reader determines if a word is an adjective or an adverb."
Syntax involves the structure and arrangement of words in a sentence, which can help readers understand how a word functions (such as whether it modifies a noun or a verb) and thus assist in inferring its meaning.
