Text of this Question or Item
1612. We would like to know something about how people go about 
guessing words they do not know. On this card are listed some 
words--you may know some of them, and you may not know quite a 
few of them. On each line the first word is in capital letters 
like BEAST. Then there are five other words. Tell me the number 
of the word that comes closest to the meaning of the word in 
capital letters. For example, if the word in capital letters is 
BEAST, you would say "4" since "animal" come closer to BEAST 
than any of the other words. If you wish, I will read the words 
to you. These words are difficult for almost everyone just give 
me your best guess if you are not sure of the answer.
