Final answer:

The glossary helps with word meanings, a thesaurus provides synonyms and antonyms, a dictionary gives pronunciations, and again a thesaurus is useful for finding alternative words.

Step-by-step explanation:

To assist you in understanding the resources available for different purposes related to word use, let's go through your questions one by one:

  1. The text feature that can help a reader determine the meaning of an unfamiliar word is a glossary (B). A glossary is typically found at the end of a book and contains definitions of terms used in the text.
  2. A thesaurus is used for (D) finding synonyms and antonyms of a word. It helps you to vary your word choice and avoid repetition.
  3. When Wesley is unsure of how to pronounce the word 'phylum' during his presentation, he should consult a dictionary (C), which provides pronunciations of words.
  4. If Bryan wants to find a more interesting word to replace 'cold,' he should consult a thesaurus (B), which will offer him a variety of synonyms to choose from.
