Skill 10. Use context to determine meanings of difficult words
You may be asked to determine the meaning of a difficult word in a reading passage, a word that you are not expected to know. I this case, the passage will probably give you a clear indication of what the word means.
The passage:

In a government election, the incumbent generally has a strong advantage over a newcomer. A person who is already in the office and thus has a certain degree of prominence has a better chance of being elected than does someone who is unknown to the electorate. …

The question:

An “incumbent” is most likely



  1. A special type of election

  2. A political party

  3. A beneficial comment

  4. A current office holder


Skill 11. Use context to determine meanings of simple words.
You may be asked to determine the meaning of a simple word in a reading passage, a word that you see often in everyday English. In this type of question, you should not give the normal, everyday meaning of the word; instead, a secondary meaning of the word is being tested, so you must determine the meaning of the word in this situation.
The example:

Faced with serious threats to its future, the company is taking steps to improve its outlook. The company has brought in a new crop of trainees to staff some of its empty positions. …


The question:

The word “steps” could be best replaced by



  1. Stairs

  2. Walks

  3. Actions

  4. Footprints


How to answer the question:

  1. Find the word in the passage

  2. Read the sentence that contains the word carefully

  3. Look for context clues to help you understand the meaning

  4. Choose the answer that the context indicates
