Q1
Read the story.
In history class, we learned about a fort built long ago in the desert. Our teacher said soldiers could not desert their post, even when the days were hot and dry. If they left without permission, they would be abandoning their duty.
We also learned a new word: ration. A ration is a small, measured amount of food or water. The fort kept rations so everyone could share fairly.
If a reader first reads desert as “dry land” in the sentence “Soldiers could not desert their post,” which context clue helps them self-correct?
