Examine sentence logic.

Answer 2

The best strategy for the student to define an unfamiliar word in the paragraph would be to look for context clues and determine the part of speech. Since the paragraph does not contain any examples of figurative language, examining idioms would not be helpful in this case. Additionally, examining sentence logic may not directly help in defining the meaning of the word, so it is not the most effective strategy. By looking for context clues and determining the part of speech, the student can gather information from the surrounding words and phrases to understand the meaning of the unfamiliar word.
