This is a worksheet designed to teach the different parts of a dictionary entry. The task is to identify what each arrow is pointing to by matching it with the correct term from the definitions provided at the bottom.
I will solve this step-by-step by examining each arrow and its corresponding part of the dictionary entry.
---
Step 1: Analyze the top-left arrow
-
First, look closely: The arrow points to the word "faithful" at the very top of the dictionary page.
-
Next, find information: Looking at the definitions box at the bottom, the first definition is "Entry word: the word broken into syllables." The word "faithful" is indeed the main word being defined, which is the entry word.
-
Then, review the findings: This matches perfectly. The top-left arrow points to the
Entry word.
---
Step 2: Analyze the top-right arrow
-
First, look closely: The arrow points to the words "faithful" and "flutter" at the top of the page, which serve as guideposts for that page.
-
Next, find information: The definition box says, "Guide Words: show the first and last words on the page." These are exactly the guide words.
-
Then, review the findings: This matches. The top-right arrow points to the
Guide Words.
---
Step 3: Analyze the middle-left arrow
-
First, look closely: The arrow points to the sentence "Amy was a faithful friend who could always be trusted."
-
Next, find information: The definition box states, "An example of how the word is used in a sentence." This is clearly an example sentence.
-
Then, review the findings: This matches. The middle-left arrow points to the
Example sentence.
---
Step 4: Analyze the middle-right arrow
-
First, look closely: The arrow points to the definition for "feud": "1. a fight that lasts for many years".
-
Next, find information: The definition box says, "Definition: what the word means." This is the literal meaning of the word.
-
Then, review the findings: This matches. The middle-right arrow points to the
Definition.
---
Step 5: Analyze the bottom-left arrow
-
First, look closely: The arrow points to the word "flutter" followed by its pronunciation "[fluht-er]".
-
Next, find information: The definition box says, "Pronunciation: how to say the word." The phonetic spelling "[fluht-er]" shows how to pronounce "flutter".
-
Then, review the findings: This matches. The bottom-left arrow points to the
Pronunciation.
---
Step 6: Analyze the bottom-right arrow
-
First, look closely: The arrow points to the sentence "The flag will not flutter when there is no wind."
-
Next, find information: Again, the definition box says, "An example of how the word is used in a sentence." This is another example sentence.
-
Then, review the findings: This matches. The bottom-right arrow points to the
Example sentence.

-
Top-left arrow: Entry word
-
Top-right arrow: Guide Words
