7 strategies for decoding word meaning
use 1 of the 7 strategies to decode the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. when the police officer commandeered stanleys skateboard, he was not sure if he would ever see it again.
pay someone money for
seize for official use
stay unnoticeable to the public
We can use the context of the sentence. The police officer taking Stanley's skateboard and Stanley not being sure if he'd see it again implies an official - like taking. "Seize for official use" fits this context. "Pay someone money for" doesn't match as there's no indication of payment. "Stay unnoticeable to the public" has no relation to the action of taking the skateboard.
