Answer:

A, C, D

Step-by-step explanation:

contextual analysis or context clues (scanning surrounding text to surmise a definition) are common in finding the meaning of a word. homophone awareness (realizing a word sounds the same as another) can aid in finding the pronunciation of a word. structural analysis can do both, by separating the word by prefix, root, and suffix (whichever applicable) the student can both sound out the individual parts this way and infer the meaning by combining the meanings of each part of the word
