5The sociable woman introduced me to her son He-Ping and her husband Mr. Wei. She asked me questions about my mother, and I knew that they would get along. Like my mother, Mrs. Wei was an athlete who loved hiking, and all the opened boxes of books suggested that she liked reading too.

Which would be the best strategy to determine the meaning of the word sociable in paragraph 5?

A) Ask the teacher or a neighbor to give you the meaning of the unknown word.

B) Look for a word that looks almost the same and substitute that word for the unknown word.

C) Read the entire paragraph and try to figure out the meaning from other words, phrases, or sentences.

D) Skip the word and finish reading the passage with the hope that you will remember the meaning of the word.
