Anthony is reading A Separate Peace by John Knowles. He comes to an unknown word. After trying to use context clues to figure out what the word means, he decides to look up the word's meaning in his dictionary. Which strategy is Anthony using to monitor his comprehension? A. summarizing what he has already read B. asking questions for clarity C. making inferences and drawing some conclusions D. using a repair strategy of consulting an expert source

D. using a repair strategy of consulting an expert source

Explanation:

Anthony has already tried to find out the meaning by using context clues, which is an admirable effort. Now he is consulting an expert source (the dictionary) to repair his understanding of the text.

Clearly, he wouldn't be checking the dictionary unless the word is very important to his understanding and unless he can't figure it out on his own.

None of the other answer choices are accurate; he is not summarizing, he is close-reading; he is not asking questions, unless you consider that he's asking the inanimate dictionary; he is not making an inference, because he's looking at the dictionary, not drawing conclusions.
