    TYPE 3 VOCABULARY IN CONTEXT QUESTIONS

    Vocabulary questions ask about the meaning of individual words and phrases as they are used in the context of
    the passage. They ask for a synonym or definition of an important word or phrase. Vocabulary questions may
    also ask for the literal equivalent of a word or phrase used figuratively in the passage. A vocabulary question may
    also be about a word that can have several meanings depending on the context.

    Typical vocabulary questions:

     The word X in line n is closest in meaning to…


     The word X in line n means that…
     The phrase Y in line n is closest in meaning to…
     In line n, the author refers to Y as X to indicate that…

    Exercise 3: Study each of the passages, and choose the best answers to the questions that follow.

    PASSAGE ONE:
    The oxidation of exhaust gases is one of the primary sources of the world’s pollution. The brown haze
    that is poised over some of the world's largest cities is properly called photochemical smog; it results from
    Line chemical reactions that take place in the air, using the energy of sunlight. The production of smog begins when
    gases are created in the cylinders of vehicle engines. It is there that oxygen and nitrogen gas combine as the fuel
    (5) burns to form nitric oxide (NO), a colorless gas. The nitric oxide is forced out into the air through the vehicle
    tailpipe along with other gases.
    When the gas reaches the air, it comes into contact with available oxygen from the atmosphere and
    combines with the oxygen to produce nitrogen dioxide (NO2), which is a gas with a brownish hue. This nitrogen
    dioxide plays a role in the formation of acid rain in wetter or more humid climates and tends to decompose back
    (10) into nitric oxide as it releases an oxygen atom from each molecule; the released oxygen atoms quickly combine
    with oxygen (O2) molecules to form ozone (O3). The brownish colored nitrogen dioxide is partially responsible
    for the brown color in smoggy air; the ozone is the toxic substance that causes irritation to eyes.

    PASSAGE TWO:
    Line Autism is a developmental disorder that is characterized by severe behavioral abnormalities across all
    primary areas of functioning. Its onset is often early; it generally makes itself known by the age of two and one-
    (5) half. It is not a single disease entity but is instead a syndrome defined by patterns and characteristics of behavior;
    it, therefore, most likely has multiple etiologies rather than a single causative factor. Autism is not fully
    understood and thus is controversial with respect to diagnosis, etiology, and treatment strategies.
