WHAT ARE THEY? Context Clues are hints that the author gives to help define a difficult or unusual word. The clue may appear within the same sentence as the word to which it refers, or it may follow in a preceding sentence.

Four types… AT LEAST! Synonym: a word with the same meaning is used in the sentence. My opponent’s argument is fallacious, misleading—plain wrong. Antonym: a word or group of words that have the opposite meaning reveals the meaning of an unknown term. Although some men are loquacious, others hardly talk at all. Explanation: The unknown word is explained within the sentence or in a sentence immediately preceding. The patient is so somnolent that she requires medication to help her stay awake for more than a short time. Example: Specific examples are used to define the term. Celestial bodies, such as the sun, moon, and stars, are governed by predictable laws.
