11	L-CONTEXT-CLUES	autonomy	3	Independent	Student determines meanings of unfamiliar words independently when a task requires it. Uses context clues, word parts, and knowledge of how language works in specific domains without needing external tools or teacher direction. Can identify when a word is being used in a specialized or figurative sense and adjusts the inference accordingly. Verifies guesses against the broader passage to confirm they make sense. The inference process is fluent but task-prompted rather than self-initiated.	The article uses 'exacerbate' — I wasn't totally sure of it, but the sentence says 'budget cuts will only exacerbate the staffing shortage that already affects rural hospitals.' The 'only' and 'already' tell me the shortage is a problem that exists, and the budget cuts are going to make it worse, not cause it. So exacerbate means to make a bad situation worse than it already is. I also know 'ex-' can mean out of or beyond, like exceeding something, which fits with the idea of pushing past what's already bad. I plugged 'make worse' back into the sentence and it reads fine.	2026-05-24 00:17:32	2026-05-26 01:43:59	1
