Words in Context

What you’ll learn

• Narrative perspective is decided from pronouns and from what the narrator can know; first-, second-, and third-person modes split further into objective, limited, and omniscient third.
• Informational structures (chronological, compare and contrast, sequence, cause and effect, problem and solution) organize evidence; signal words are legal shortcuts if you verify them against whole paragraphs.
• Context-clue items pair **best meaning** with **best evidence**; contrast pivots, glosses, examples, and result clauses are high-value anchors.
• Chunking still helps: after every few sentences, say what job the new lines perform so POV, structure, and vocabulary questions stay tied to the same evidence window.
• Register and grammar are part of "best meaning"; a word can be dictionary-close and still wrong for the subject, tense, or tone.
