Vocabulary in Context (or Word in Context) questions test the depth and flexibility of your vocabulary -- but challenging words are not the only way the College Board makes these questions difficult.

Let's go through a tricky vocab question and see how we closely read the passage to determine its logical structure and extract the critical clues.
