Question

Which of the following is NOT a way to use context clues to determine what a word means?

a. Read the words and phrases before and after the unknown word.
b. Check for restatements of the word in question.
c. See if the word is defined by an example.
d. Notice whether the next-to-the-last letter of the word is a vowel or a consonant

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there,

The last choice is not a way to use context clues because it doesn't even help a student understand the meaning of the word. Noticing whether something is a vowel or a consonant will accomplish very little when you are trying to understand the meaning of a word.

Hope this answer helps. Cheers.
