Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 3 AIL 0201 short lesson, about 20 seconds
What a Word-in-Context Question Asks
Captions available
The idea
The board prints a word from the passage and asks what it means there. Every option is usually a real sense of the word somewhere. The question is not whether you know the word, but whether you can see which sense this sentence will bear.
In practice
Which meaning does this sentence carry?
Where people slip
Knowing the word is not answering the question.
