Example: OG Practice Set 3， question 4
Passage 3: Exhibitors， however， wanted to maximize their profits， which they could do more readily by projecting a handful of films to hundreds of customers at a time (rather than one at a time) and by charging 25 to 50 cents admission…
The word readily in the passage is closest in meaning to
○ frequently
○ easily
○ intelligently
○ obviously
解析：readily 在的文章句子中出現表示附加或補充信息的圓括號()，根據圓括號中的內容，我們可以得出readily在此句中的意思為easily。
☆ 構詞法
根據構詞法，單詞的結構有三部分：前綴(prefixes)，詞干(stems)和后綴(suffixes)。詞干是單詞的構成基礎，前綴和后綴則分別加在詞干的前面和后面，從而改變單詞的詞性和含義。而前綴、后綴和詞干都有其固定含義，因此根據構詞法，我們就可以利用其固定含義來判斷生詞的意思。
Example: OG NINETEENTH-CENTURY POLITICS IN THE UNITED STATES
Passage 1: …During his administration he immeasurably enlarged the power of the presidency…
The word immeasurably in the passage is closest in meaning to
○ frequently
○ greatly
○ rapidly
○ reportedly
解析：immeasurably一詞的詞根為measure(測量、度量)，詞綴分別為im-(不)，-able(能…的)，-ly(由形容詞變為副詞)。因此我們可以判斷immeasurably一詞在此句中的意思為greatly?
○ uncertain
解析：despondent 所在的文章句子中出現疑問句，疑問句中的連詞or 表示選擇，因此我們可以得出despondent在此句中的意思為unhappy?
