What do proficient readers use to verify and revise their guesses on word meanings?

  1. Context clues

  2. Decoding skills

  3. Memorization techniques

  4. Root knowledge and affixes

The correct answer is: Context clues

Proficient readers use context clues to verify and revise their guesses on word meanings. Context clues provide information around the unknown word that helps readers infer its meaning. By examining the surrounding text, readers can better understand the word in question and adjust their comprehension accordingly. Decoding skills, memorization techniques, and root knowledge and affixes can also be helpful in understanding word meanings, but context clues play a crucial role in helping proficient readers make accurate interpretations.
