  8. A root word is the foundation on which the meaning of a word is built.

  9. Context clues are words in a sentence or paragraph that help the reader deduce (reason out) the meaning of a word. Three major types of context clues: Synonym: I feel completely satiated; in fact, I am so full that I could not possibly eat another morsel of food. Antonym: Unlike Rob, who is so full of life, Rachel is lackluster. Example: In college, you can choose courses from a broad range of academic disciplines, such as history, economics, mathematics, and psychology.

  10. From “Electric Cars…” Here are two examples of Word Analysis (Vocabulary) questions found on the CAHSEE. Notice how this type of question requires you to refer to the sentence. It gives you some context in answering the questions. Context is the surrounding information, which can help you gain a better understanding of a word.

  11. Refer to “A Word in the Hand” handout. Questions 26 and 27 are examples of Word Analysis (Vocabulary) questions. These questions involve knowing literal and figurative meanings of words. Idioms are a type of figurative language. These expressions or phrases are not literal, but are meant to be comparisons or observations that can be applied to the situation.

  12. Understanding a word’s “charge” is another strategy that you can use to gain insight about a word’s meaning. You should consider your reaction to the word. This is also known as a word’s connotation.

  13. This example asks you to simply understand the meaning of the word. You can use some of the strategies (i.e. context clues) to determine the correct meaning of the word frazzled.

The word “torpedo” influences your understanding of the word “dolphin,” as torpedoes have certain characteristics that will affect your interpretation of this sentence. How are torpedoes and dolphins similar?

  15. On the CAHSEE you will be given several passages to read, followed by a series of multiple-choice questions that test your understanding of the text. Literary text refers to passages written in a literary style, such as poems, short stories, and plays. A literary style of writing makes use of figurative language and literary devices to create a powerful image for the reader. Literary Analysis

  16. Authors use figurative language to help the reader visualize what is happening in a story or poem. It is language that uses imaginative comparison, rather than literal statement, to give the reader a feeling about the subject. A figure of speech that compares two unlike things, using the words “like” or “as.” A figure of speech that compares two unlike things. Means giving human qualities, feelings, action, or characteristics to non-human objects. The contrast between what is said and what is meant, or between the appearance of things and their reality.

The sun poked its head out from the clouds and shone. InRomeo and Juliet, the other characters in the cast think Juliet is dead, but the audience knows she only took a sleeping potion. "Oh, that's beautiful", when what they mean (probably conveyed by their tone) is they find "that" quite ugly.
