A context clue is a detail in the text that helps readers guess or infer the meaning of a word or phrase. It can be found near the unfamiliar word and provides additional information or clues about its meaning. For example, if you come across the sentence "The doctor prescribed medication to alleviate her pain," the word "alleviate" may be unfamiliar to you. However, the context clue "medication to alleviate her pain" suggests that "alleviate" means to reduce or lessen something, such as pain. By considering the surrounding text and paying attention to context clues, readers can make educated guesses about the meanings of unfamiliar words.
