1- Review entire text to gain a clear understading of fundamental themes.
2- Thoroughly read sentences in the vicintiy of the unknown word
For example, in the attached picture- try to discern the meaning of the word "hankering"
Here are the clues the text offers us:
a) "unable to appreciate" indiactes that hankering may have a negative connotation associated with it.
b) "others possess" suggests undertones of jealousy and enviousness for others' abilities.
Using these 2 clues, one can hypothesize that hankering means yearning/longing. (In this situation, it is used with a negative connotation)
