TIPS FOR VOCABULARY QUESTIONS
Remember: The question is NOT just asking the meaning of a word but for the meaning as it is used in the passage.
DON’T just choose answer just because it can be a correct meaning of the word; understand which meaning the author is using.
Reread the sentence in the passage, substituting the word/phrase you have chosen.
Confirm that the sentence still make sense in the context of the whole passage.
