Reads beyond the immediate sentence to gather evidence. Distinguishes between a word's general meaning and its specific function in the passage. Verifies inferences by substituting the guessed meaning back into the text and checking for coherence. When initial strategies are insufficient, consults reference materials and integrates the formal definition with contextual understanding.", "The author describes the CEO's public apology as 'perfunctory' \u2014 the next sentence says 'she read from a prepared statement, made no eye contact with reporters, and left without taking questions.' So the context tells me perfunctory means going through the motions without genuine feeling or effort. The root 'func' relates to performing or carrying out, and 'per-' can mean through, so literally it's like performing through something \u2014 just getting it done. I tested my definition by substituting it: 'the CEO's going-through-the-motions apology' fits perfectly with the description that follows. The word also tells me the author thinks the apology was insincere, which matters because the rest of the article argues the company never took real accountability.", "2026-05-24 00:17:32", "2026-05-26 01:43:59", 1]], "columns": ["id", "skill_code", "dimension", "level", "level_label", "behavioral_description", "sample_response", "created_at", "updated_at", "active_version"], "primary_keys": ["id"], "primary_key_values": ["15"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6799581460654736}
