Printable worksheetHow it works
Many exam questions ask what a word means in the passage. You don't need to know every word: the sentence around it usually gives you a clue.
ብዙ የፈተና ጥያቄዎች አንድ ቃል በምንባቡ ውስጥ ምን ማለት እንደሆነ ይጠይቃሉ። ሁሉንም ቃል ማወቅ አያስፈልግዎትም፤ በዙሪያው ያለው ዓረፍተ ነገር ብዙ ጊዜ ፍንጭ ይሰጣል።
Four kinds of clue · አራት ዓይነት ፍንጮች
Explanation: The land was barren, which means nothing could grow there.
ማብራሪያ፦ "which means" ከኋላው ትርጉሙን ይሰጣል።
Similar word: He was exhausted, tired after the long walk.
ተመሳሳይ ቃል፦ "tired" የ"exhausted"ን ትርጉም ያሳያል።
Contrast: Unlike her shy brother, Hana is very outgoing.
ንጽጽር፦ "Unlike" ተቃራኒውን ያሳያል፤ "outgoing" የ"shy" ተቃራኒ ነው።
Example: Staple foods, such as injera and bread, are eaten every day.
ምሳሌ፦ "such as" ከኋላው ምሳሌዎችን ይሰጣል።
Put each option into the sentence in place of the word. The right answer keeps the meaning of the sentence.
እያንዳንዱን ምርጫ በቃሉ ቦታ ዓረፍተ ነገሩ ውስጥ ያስገቡ። ትክክለኛው መልስ የዓረፍተ ነገሩን ትርጉም ይጠብቃል።
