Answer:
TYPES OF CONTEXT CLUES
1. Definition/Explanation Clues
2. Restatement/Synonym Clues
3. Contrast/Antonym Clues
4. Inference/General Context Clues
5. Punctuation
Example sentences:
1. "Haberdashery, which is a store that sells men’s clothing, is becoming more common today.”
2. Example: "Lou was sent to the haberdashery to find a new suit. He needed to wear one for his uncle’s wedding."
Because the sentence says that Lou would find a suit at the haberdashery, then it must be a place where clothes for men are sold.
3. "Lou wanted to go to the haberdashery, but Ann wanted to shop at the boutique.”
The signal word but tells the reader that an opposite thought is going to be stated.
4. “The haberdashery was Lou’s favorite place. He loved shopping for nice suits. The people who worked there were so kind and helpful.”
Readers can also use clues of punctuation and type style to infer meaning, such as quotation marks (showing the word has a special meaning), dashes , parentheses or brackets (enclosing a definition), and italics (showing the word will be defined).
5. Tom's father was a haberdasher, or men’s shop keeper, in the story.
