Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.38 Understand Technical Vocabulary skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A technical manual used the word "calibration" when describing a sensor. A step-by-step sidebar explained how to calibrate the sensor so its readings match a known standard.

To confirm what "calibration" means in this manual, which text feature should you use?

Athe author’s acknowledgments

Bthe cover photo

Cthe table of contents

Dthe step-by-step sidebar explaining the procedure

Solution & Explanation:The step-by-step sidebar is the best source because it explains how calibration works in the manual’s context: adjusting a sensor so its readings match a known standard.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A biology chapter used the term "endoskeleton" but did not define it in the main text. In the margin, a mini-glossary box broke the word into parts: endo- (inside) and skeleton (support framework).

Which source best helps you verify the meaning of "endoskeleton" in this chapter?

Athe photo credits at the back

Bthe mini-glossary box that breaks the word into parts

Cthe index listing topics

Dthe chapter review questions

Solution & Explanation:The mini-glossary box is the best source because it breaks endoskeleton into meaningful word parts and explains how those parts build the term’s meaning.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A pharmacy handout warned that some medicines are contraindicated for certain patients. It gave an example: a drug that helps most people could be unsafe for someone with a specific condition.

In the passage, "contraindicated" most nearly means:

Aable to cure a disease without any side effects

Bproven to work faster than any other option

Cnot advised because it could be harmful in a particular situation

Drequired by law in every situation

Solution & Explanation:Use the context clue (could be unsafe) to infer what "contraindicated" describes. Then choose the option that matches that meaning. If you're unsure, verify the term in a glossary or dictionary.
