Which can readers use to find the meaning of an unfamiliar word? Choose three correct answers.

Readers can examine a word’s ending, part of speech, and root to help work out its meaning. For example, an ending such as “-less” means “without,” and recognizing a familiar root can reveal a word’s core meaning. The length of a speech and whether words are formal do not reliably explain an unfamiliar word.
