Maria is reading an online text that describes an engineering process. She comes across the term column. She believes she knows the term’s meaning but wants to verify it. Where should she look to verify its meaning?

She should look it up in the Dictionary of Technical Terms

Explanation:

As the word "column" can have various meanings, depending on the field where the word will be used, one should always check if the meaning he thinks he knows is the correct one.

In typography, a word column has a completely different meaning than in the engineering: a vertical division of a page or text.

answer: the first one

explanation:

explicitly is defined as “in a clear and detailed manner, leaving no room for confusion or doubt.” the rest are interpretive and not clearly proven leaving in fact possible “confusion or doubt” which explicitly, by definition cannot have.

two factors or characteristics of a chapter that might make it difficult to read would be words i don't understand, or if i don't fully understand what's going on in the chapter. strategies i can use to get through the difficult material would be a dictionary, and re-reading previous chapters to get a better grasp of what the author is trying to say.
