Khan Academy: Clarifying Meaning Quick Guide

Curated by ACT

In a given text, words and phrases do not appear in isolation but are embedded in the context of a narrative, an argument, an explanation, and so on. Accordingly, clarifying meaning questions test your ability to identify contextually appropriate meanings of words and phrases. In other words, you'll need to be able to interpret words and phrases not just as a dictionary would define them, but as the author is specifically using them in context.
