How does a reader perform structural analysis?

By memorizing whole words
By summarizing text
By looking for "chunks" or parts of words they know
By counting the number of words

The correct answer is: By looking for "chunks" or parts of words they know

Performing structural analysis involves breaking down words into meaningful parts or "chunks" that the reader knows, such as prefixes, suffixes, and root words. This strategy helps readers identify the meaning of unfamiliar words by using their knowledge of word parts. Option A, memorizing whole words, is not an effective strategy for decoding unfamiliar words. Option B, summarizing text, is related to comprehension rather than word analysis. Option D, counting the number of words, is not relevant to the process of structural analysis.
