How would you define "context Clues"?

Question

answer ASAP PLZ!!!!!

Answer 1

The information from the immediate textual setting that helps identify a word for decoding (sounding out) and words being read for the first time. The reader's speaking vocabulary is a back-up strategy and is primarily useful to resolve ambiguity (is bread pronounced bred or breed?) and to confirm the accuracy of decoding (does it make sense and does it sound right?).

Answer 2

When you are reading something and you come across a word you don't know, and you can't sound it out, then you look for "context clues", which is you look at the meaning of the words before and after the unknown word.
Sometimes you can figure out the unknown word because you can see what could fit there. You can sound out the first letter of the unknown word at the same time that you are guessing what word could fit there based on the other words around the unknown word--which are the "context clues".

Answer 3

Context Clue is a reference, item or word that puts a story, line or word in the right perspective.

fi: A man can not leave his vehicle...if he does he will die instantly.... somewhat later the story mentions he ca see earth from one window, and the moon from the other. Context makes all the difference.

fi: The word bad or wicked or the line "That is so hot!". From the context you have to deduce if if it is the 'normal' meaning or the 'street' meaning of the word.
