Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.38 Technical vocabulary precision skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

During a lab, students observed that the solution turned cloudy when salt was added. The teacher explained that the salt decreased solubility, meaning less of the other substance could dissolve in the liquid.

In this context, "solubility" refers to…

Ahow fast a liquid can freeze

Bhow well a substance can dissolve in a liquid

Chow strongly a magnet attracts metal

Dhow bright a light source appears

Solution & Explanation:Use context clues from the passage. For example, it says: During a lab, students observed that the solution turned cloudy when salt was added. That description matches "how well a substance can dissolve in a liquid", so the correct answer is B. The other choices describe a different concept that does not fit the passage.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

The policy analyst warned against a simplistic explanation of poverty. Many factors—education access, job markets, health, and housing costs—interact, making the issue multifactorial rather than driven by a single cause.

In this passage, "multifactorial" means…

Acaused only by weather changes

Bcaused by one clear factor

Ccaused by many interacting factors

Dcaused by a mistake in calculation

Solution & Explanation:Use context clues from the passage. For example, it says: The policy analyst warned against a simplistic explanation of poverty. That description matches "caused by many interacting factors", so the correct answer is C. The other choices describe a different concept that does not fit the passage.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

In geology, the prefix ‘sub-’ often means ‘under.’ The article described a subduction zone where one tectonic plate moves beneath another, forming deep trenches and volcanoes.

Using morphology and context, "subduction" most nearly means…

Athe process of rock turning into sand

Bthe process of one plate moving under another

Cthe process of rivers carving canyons

Dthe process of water turning into vapor

Solution & Explanation:Use context clues from the passage. For example, it says: In geology, the prefix ‘sub-’ often means ‘under.’ The article described a subduction zone where one tectonic plate moves beneath another, forming deep trenches and volcanoes. That description matches "the process of one plate moving under another", so the correct answer is B. The prefix "sub-" means "under," which supports the meaning. The other choices describe a different concept that does not fit the passage.
