What types of context clues should teachers introduce to help students figure out meanings of unknown words?

  1. Antonym, synonym, definition, inference

  2. Derivational, inflectional, contextual, lexical

  3. Figurative, literal, hyperbolic, metaphorical

  4. Phonological, morphological, syntactical, pragmatic

The correct answer is: Antonym, synonym, definition, inference

Teachers should introduce students to different types of context clues to help them figure out the meanings of unknown words. The types of context clues mentioned in option A - antonym, synonym, definition, inference - are commonly used strategies for students to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words within a given context. Antonyms provide words with opposite meanings, synonyms offer words with similar meanings, definitions explicitly state the meaning of a word, and inferences involve students using context to make educated guesses about the meanings of unknown words. These various types of context clues give students tools to decode unfamiliar vocabulary and enhance their reading comprehension skills. Choices B, C, and D are not related to the types of context clues typically utilized to aid in understanding the meanings of unknown words in a text.
