• 3.Underline clue words.
• 4.Before looking at the answer choices, write
  what you think the word means. (What word would
  fit in the context?)

  that are very different from your word. Pick the
  answer choice that most closely matches your word.

  questions based on informational (factual) text
  and 20 questions based on literary text (i.e.
  poems, plays, short stories, and memoir).
