Practice 2 - Instruction:

Reviewing the entire passage would be beneficial. When you get to the subheading, "Tameness Test," highlight the second paragraph.

Look for context clues surrounding the word to be defined:

• synonyms
• definition or description following or preceding the word
• use of the word in a series

TIP: Carefully read the second paragraph of "Tameness Test." One strategy for this question would be to use each answer in place of juvenile in the sentence where it appears. Then see if it fits the idea of the whole paragraph.

• For example, the original sentence is: Tameness is sometimes called a juvenile characteristic.
• Replace Answer A: Intelligent, in the sentence. Tameness is sometimes called an intelligent characteristic.
• Ask yourself if that makes sense with the rest of the information in the paragraph. Does it fit?

Which word fit the meaning of the paragraph when you replaced juvenile?

Type it here.

Let's try another practice question.
