To figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word, the reader should study the word’s which is comprised of the words, sentences, and paragraphs that surround it.

The correct answer is "context". When we do not know the meaning of a word, we can infer its meaning by the context. The context helps the reader understand the meaning of a new word since it provides known words, descriptions, a topic and setting that clarifies the definition.

To sum up, the context in a written work provides hints to reader in order to undertand the concept of a new word.

to whom may it may concern;

i have recently ordered a product from your online shop. the shipping details read that my order would be delivered by the 8th of december, whereas it was delivered the 13th. i needed the package for a christmas exchange. 

since i paid for overnight shipping, but did not receive the package in the time allotted, i am kindly asking for a refund. the product was just perfect, but i do not believe i should have to pay for a quick shipping if it came late.

you for your time, i hope to hear from you soon.

sincerely,

john smith

"fire and ice" is one of robert frost's most popular poems. it was published in december 1920 in harper's magazine and in 1923 in his pulitzer prize−winning book new hampshire. it discusses the end of the world, likening the elemental force of fire with the emotion of desire, and ice with hate.

c. the power of desire is greater than the power of hate.
