What is one way to discern the meaning of a word using the context of the writing? Re-read the sentences that come before and after the term.
o Use an internet search engine.
O Look it up in the dictionary.
Ask a friend.

I would say to reread the sentences, as with the others you don't use the context to find the definition. By searching in the piece of work, you can get a general feel of the writing, which will help you decifer the meaning.
