Vocabulary in Context Questions
Vocabulary
in context questions are the questions on SAT Reading passages that question you directly about vocabulary in the context of
a paragraph. While having vocab knowledge can help you with other
types of questions, for the purposes of this article, I've focused on the types
of questions where knowing vocabulary is essential to being able to get the
right answer.
How to
answer vocabulary in context question :
1.
Read the passage from beginning to end.
2.
When you get to the vocabulary question, put your finger over the highlighted
word and read the sentence again. Try to substitute in a word that makes sense.
3.
Think about the possible meaning of the word in question. Do you know any
related words? Do you know other words that look like it? Any memory of the
word or association will help. Be sure to do that before looking
at the answer choices.
4.
Look at your answer choices and see if any of them match the meaning you
expect. If so, that’s probably the correct answer. Double-check it and mark it on
the test.

The Passage no 1 (BOBOT 50)
The Hawaiian language is a melodious language in which all words are derived from an alphabet of only twelve letters, the five vowels a, e, i, o, u and the seven consonants h, k, l, m, n, p, w. Each syllable in the language ends in a vowel, and two consonants never appear together, so vowels have a much higher frequency in the Hawaiian language than they do in English.
This musical-sounding language can be heard regularly by visitors to the islands. Most Hawaiian speak English, but it is quite common to hear English that is liberally spiced with words and expressions from the traditional language of the culture. A visitor may be greeted with the expression aloha and may be referred to as a malihini because he is a newcomer to the island. The visitor may attend an outside luau where everyone eats too much and be invited afterwards to dancehula.
1). Which of the following is probably NOT a Hawaiian word:
(A) mahalo
(B) mahimahi
(C) meklea
(D) moana
