If you select the first meaning you find in the dictionary without thinking about the context in which the word appears, you may choose the wrong definition and misunderstand the text.  \nHere are some examples of common words with very different meanings:  \n\n| Word | Meaning |\n| --- | --- |\n| body | • the physical structure of a person or animal, including the head and limbs\u003Cbr>• a group of people who are connected through their work or a particular purpose, e.g.,“The WHO is an international body concerned with health issues.”\u003Cbr>• a large amount of something, especially something that has been collected, such as knowledge, information, and so on.“Thereis now a considerable body of evidence to support the theory that life exists in other solar systems.” |\n| capital | • the city where a country has its main seat of government\u003Cbr>• money or property used to start a business |\n\nKeep clear notes of new words in a separate book, as research has shown that good language students keep organized notes.  \nTask 1: Choosing meaning from context  \nMany words can only be fully understood in context. This is particularly true for homonyms, i.e. , words that have two or more unrelated meanings. The following exercises provide the context of single sentences. When reading at the paragraph level, however, you should also use context beyond the sentence level.  \nA word with two or more unrelated meanings is called a homonym.  \nMulti-Meaning Words  1   \n 1.1  Choose the correct meaning of the words in bold according to the context in which they appear.  \nExample:  \nThe government gets a lot of revenue from duty  \non tobacco products.  \na) a moral or legal obligation  \nb) a task you have to do as part of your job  \nc) a tax you pay on goods you buy  \n1 The questions can be answered in any order.  \na) the arrangement or sequence of a group of things in relation to each other  \nb) a command given by a person in authority  \nc) a request for a product to be delivered to you  \n2 Assignments are taken into consideration in awarding the final grade, so they do count.  \na) to calculate the quantity of things or people there are in a group  \nb) to be valuable or important  \nc) to say numbers in order  \n3 The nature of the task will demand a person with a lot of experience in this particular field.  \na) a combination of qualities or features that define a thing  \nb) the physical world, including all living things and features such as the land, the oceans, and the weather  \nc) the character of a person or animal  \n4 Fatigue is one of the most common causes of road accidents.  \na) frequent  \nb) belonging to or used by a group of people  \nc) ordinary or usual  \n5 The whole point of this law is to protect the rights of individuals.  \na) an idea or opinion that forms part of an argument or discussion  \nb) the aim of or reason for something  \nc) a precise moment in time or in the development of something  \n6 Investing in this company should provide an excellent return.  \na) go back to one place from another place  \nb) profit on money invested  \nc) restarting an activity after not doing it for some time  \n7 Police arrested 15 people in a security operation in the capital.  \na) the process of cutting into a human body for medical purposes  \nb) a business, company or organization  \nc) a planned action for a particular purpose  \nVocabulary  \n11  \n8 There are still numerous one-party states around the world.  \na) the condition of a person or thing at a particular time  \nb) a country or nation  \nc) an area within a country that has its own legal and political powers  \n9 Young people today have ","cbCaia1cszncV1A0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia1cszncV1A0","pdf",604444,"English","# Introduction\n## Task 1: Choosing meaning from context\n## Vocabulary","[{\"question\":\"Why can using dictionaries lead to misunderstandings?\",\"answer\":\"Many words have multiple meanings, and selecting the first dictionary definition without considering context can produce the wrong meaning and lead to misunderstanding.\"},{\"question\":\"What are homonyms, and how are they handled in this unit?\",\"answer\":\"Homonyms are words with two or more unrelated meanings.
