Context clues are hints or information provided within a text that help readers understand the meaning of unfamiliar words or phrases. Here are two common types of context clues:
-
Definition Clues: These clues provide a direct definition of the unfamiliar word. For example, the sentence might say, "A bicycle, which is a two-wheeled vehicle, is popular among children."
-
Synonym Clues: These offer a word with a similar meaning to the unfamiliar word. For example, "She was elated, or very happy, about her exam results."
If you have specific options to choose from, please provide them, and I can help identify the correct types of context clues from the list.
