This question tests using dictionaries or glossaries to clarify word meanings (CCSS.L.3.4.d). Dictionaries are general reference books with all words. We use these to find precise meanings or the correct definition when a word has multiple meanings. We use dictionaries and glossaries when we need to: find the precise meaning of an unfamiliar word, choose the correct definition when a word has multiple meanings, understand content-area vocabulary, or verify how a word is used. Many words have more than one meaning, and the dictionary shows all definitions numbered (1., 2., 3.). We must read the context to determine which definition fits. A dictionary entry shows: (1) Entry word (bold word being defined), (2) Pronunciation, (3) Part of speech (n.=noun, v.=verb, adj.=adjective), (4) Definition(s) numbered if multiple, (5) Sometimes example sentence. For this word 'watch' the dictionary shows 2 definitions. We look at the sentence 'I wear a watch to school' to see which definition makes sense. Choice B is correct because it matches the definition that fits the context and identifies the correct meaning for the part of speech used. In the sentence 'I wear a watch to school' the word is used as a noun meaning a small clock worn on the wrist, which matches definition 2 in the dictionary. Choice A is incorrect because it uses the wrong definition number that doesn't fit the context and is the wrong part of speech. Students make this error when they don't notice part of speech or don't consider the context. To help students: Teach dictionary/glossary use strategy: (1) Read the whole sentence with unfamiliar word. (2) Look up the word (check alphabetical order). (3) Read ALL definitions if multiple. (4) Think about how word is used in sentence (noun? verb?). (5) Choose definition that makes sense in context. (6) Reread sentence with that meaning to check. Practice with words that have multiple meanings (bat, run, bank, light, play). Show difference: Dictionary = general reference for any word. Glossary = specific to one book's vocabulary. Watch for: choosing first definition without reading others / not considering context / too vague understanding instead of precise meaning.
