Answer:

A. Consult a dictionary

Step-by-step explanation:

This will give the most specific response, and will allow her to see the multiple ways it can be defined. A thesaurus will only confuse her as similar words won't carry the same exact definition. Then based off of the context of the sentence she can find the proper definition.
