This Grade 9 worksheet develops vocabulary through context clues—hints in a text that reveal word meanings—and word nuances, the subtle differences in meaning and tone.

It includes five activities:

  1. Identifying Context Clues: Determine word meanings (e.g., rhetoric, desolate, undaunted) from sentences.

  2. Analyzing Word Nuances: Choose the word that best fits tone (e.g., frugal vs. economical).

  3. Interpreting Idioms: Explain expressions like “pulling strings” from context.

  4. Literary Inference: Define words in literary excerpts (e.g., melancholy).

  5. Evaluating Concepts: True/False questions on context and nuance in reading.

A full answer key is included for self-grading or instruction.
