Context Clues

There are four types of context clues: synonym , antonym , explanation , and example.

Synonym

A synonym, or word with the same meaning, is used in the sentence.

Ex: Her newest idea was selling chocolate covered baby shoes. She was convinced that it would be a lucrative , or successful business.

Explanation

The unknown word is explained within the sentence, or in a sentence immediately preceding.

Ex: The patient is so somnolent , that she requires medicine to help her stay awake for more than a short amount of time.

Example

Specific examples are used to define the unknown term.

Ex: Celestial bodies, such as the sun, moon, and stars, are governed by predictable laws.

Using Evidence

Note: Whichever method you choose (quote or paraphrase), you MUST explain HOW the evidence proves the claim (WARRANT WARRANT WARRANT!)

Using Evidence

  3. For instance…
  4. For example…
  5. The author explains…
  6. The passage reveals…
  7. In the text…
  8. Something that supports this is...
