Question

vocabulary: reference material

• organized in alphabetical order
• provides the part of speech of the word

glossary - contains a list of words and definitions located at the back of a textbook

• author provides the definitions of words that the reader may not know
• only one definition in the context the word is used

thesaurus - contains a list of synonyms and antonyms

• synonyms: words with similar meanings
• antonyms: words with opposite meanings
• a short definition is sometimes provided

in which situation would a glossary be most useful?
when you want to figure out the part of speech of a word
when you are using a word many times in your writing, but dont want it to seem repetitive
when you want to find the specific definition of a word in context

Explanation:

A glossary (from the reference material) provides one definition of a word in the context it’s used in the textbook. The first option: while a glossary has part of speech, its main use is definitions in context, not just part of speech. The second option: avoiding repetition uses a thesaurus (for synonyms), not a glossary. So the situation where you need a word’s specific definition in context is when a glossary is most useful.

Answer:

when you want to find the specific definition of a word in context
