Analyze the question prompt

The question asks which tools or strategies readers can use to determine the meaning of an unfamiliar word. This is a "check all that apply" multiple-choice question.

Evaluate "root words"

Root words are the base form of a word. Understanding the root word helps a reader deduce the core meaning of a larger, unfamiliar word. Thus, this is a correct strategy.

Evaluate "formal words"

"Formal words" refers to the register or tone of vocabulary. Knowing whether a word is formal does not directly help a reader decode its specific semantic meaning. Thus, this is incorrect.

Evaluate "word endings"

Word endings, such as suffixes, modify the meaning or grammatical function of a base word. Using Word Suffixes allows readers to determine how a word is used and helps reveal its meaning. Thus, this is a correct strategy.

Evaluate "parts of speech"

Identifying Parts of Speech (such as nouns, verbs, or adjectives) helps readers understand the syntactic role of an unfamiliar word in a sentence, which provides crucial context clues to its meaning. Thus, this is a correct strategy.

Evaluate "length of speech"

The physical length of a speech or a word does not provide semantic clues to determine what an unfamiliar word means. Thus, this is incorrect.
