"His solid form towered over the pair of them and the expression on his face was still indecipherable." From the text, indecipherable seems to mean confusing or unreadable. Next, I used the replace the word strategy. I replaced indecipherable with unclear. "...the expression on his face was still unclear."

I used context clues first. The sentence, “Nothing but a flash of the eyes and a single equivocal remark; beyond that, only his own secret imaginings, founded on a dream”, made me think that it might mean confusing or outstanding. The next strategy I used was part of speech because it is an adjective and is describing the kind of remark that O’Brien made. I think it shows that the remark is different than a usual conversation. 2. Dictionary Definition: open to more than one interpretation; ambiguous.

The second word strategy I used was looking at context clues and the sentence reads, "The passage down which he had lead them was softly carpeted, with cream-papered walls and white wainscoting, all exquisitely clean." From looking at the context clues I realize that the word following the mention of walls which makes me think the word is incorporated with the walls, meaning some kind of curtain. 2.

Demur is a verb  because in the sentence it is used as an action. The second strategy I used is context clues "O’Brien’s servant, however, had admitted the two of them without demur".

From the text, debauch is a noun because he describes his work to be, "an enormous debauch..." The next strategy I used was the context clues strategy. "All the blood and lymph had been drained out of him by an enormous debauch of work..." From the context, debauch seems to mean a large amount because the amount of work he had to do made him feel fatigue.

The sentence for the word is ""Wait. The Decanter is still half full."". Based on the sentence I believe the word decanter is some sort of bottle or container. The second strategy I used was replace the word. I replaced the word with words such as bottle or box and they all sounded appropriate.

The sentence that this word is included in says "... a black-uniformed guard would suddenly appear from round the corner, demand his papers, and order him to get out. O'Brien's servants, however, had admitted the two of them without demur." Since Winston was wearing one situation, but the exact opposite happened, I can assume that "demur" must meant "without a second glance" or something similar. The next strategy I used was to replace "demur" with the definition I had already created for myself. The sentence is now "... a black-uniformed guard would suddenly appear from round the corner, demand his papers, and order him to get out. O'Brien's servants, however, had admitted the two of them without a second glance." The meaning of the sentence doesn't seem to change, so this reinforces my assumptions.

The word “expression” help me understand that indecipherable could mean being clueless. The second strategy I used was replacing the word and I replaced “indecipherable” with “clueless”. “His solid form towered over the pair of them, and the expression on his face was still clueless”. This makes sense because people will usually have a clueless or confused expression.Definition= not able to be read or understood.

The story talks about how it was folly for them to arrive together to O’Brians doorstep so I am assuming that the word means dumb or not smart.

I think the word indecipherable is an adjective because it is describing the expression that O’Brien had on his face. The sentence in which it is describing the expression is “His solid form towered over the pair of them, and the expression on his face was still indecipherable.” The next strategy I used was “context clues”. I think the word means confusion because in the sentence it is in “...and the expression on his face was still indecipherable.” , “ He was waiting, somewhat sternly, for Winston to speak..” O’Brien was confused on what Winston was actually thinking. 2. not able to understand

This quote helped my understand that the word might mean to put yourself out there or to be heard. I thought eccentricity mean to be out there because they talk about the word ownlife meaning individualism and to me that means to be your own person and to be your own eccentric self. The second strategy I used was replacing the word, I replaced the word with being yourself to show that the word ownlife meant to be individual and be yourself. The dictionary definition is the quality of being eccentric.

The sentence of the word is "Winston was gelatinous with fatigue.". Based on this sentence I believe the word gelatinous is something to do with posture or feeling.

"It was night, and the white faces and the scarlet banners were luridly floodlit." Because luridly describes how the banners looked, it seems to have a negative connotation. The next strategy I used was the background information. I know that lurid has some relation to something being shocking, luridly might mean shocking or revolting.

Breaking down the word we have "equi" and "vocal." "equi" means equal, or even; "vocal" means "relating to the voice." If I put these together, it would make the definition of "equal statement." Next, with my new definition, I used context clues. The text says " For what evidence had he in reality that O'Brien was any kind of political conspirator? Nothing but a flash of the eyes and a single equivocal remark." the single equivocal remark in question would be a remark that is equal to Winston's assumptions.

In the sentence, a “decanter” is on a tray, making it an object (noun). The second strategy that I used was the Context Clues strategy. In the following sentence, someone instructs the person with the “decanter” to bring the drinks to him.

I infereed this because the text said, “...in the hybrid jaron of the ministries.” The second strategy that I used was replacing the wod with leader and it kind of made sense but I wasn't sure if that was the right inference.

Context clues helped me because the sentence, “He began asking questions in a low, expressionless voice, as though this were a routine, a sort of catechism, most of whose answers were known to him already.” gave me a clue as to what the word means. I think that it means a test or mostly the same questions. Next I used background knowledge because I know that catechism is usually a Catholic school thing but in this sentence that didn’t make sense. I think it is a lesson or test. 2.

From the context, arbitrary seems to mean random due to the description of the other frontiers (not the ones considered arbitrary) change every time a war is won or lost.

The word “crowd” helps me realize that haranguing means to please. The second strategy I used was replacing the word and I replaced “haranguing” with “pleasing”. “... a small lean man was disproportionately long arms and a large, bald skull over which a few lank locks straggled, was pleasing the crowd”. This makes sense because the crowd does not want to be bored so the host will want to make them enjoy their time. Definition= lecture (someone) at length in an aggressive and critical manner.

The sentence this word is included in states "All the blood and lymph had been drained out of him by an enormous debauch of work..." knowing Winston feels sick and drained, debauch can't be a positive word. Winston also believes his work is monotonous, so I can assume that debauch means pointless or monotonous. The next strategy I used was to replace the word. I replace debauch with "load of monotonous," since just "monotonous" wouldn't work grammatically. This creates the sentence "All the blood and lymph had been drained out of him by an enormous load of monotonous work..." I feel like the meaning of the sentence has not changed after I replaced the word.

As I am reading the sentence I know that the word is verb because the word demor seems to be describing an action or occurrence it says . “O’Brien’s servant, however, had adimited the two of them without demur.” so therefore, I know that demur is a is some type of action that the servant might of done. The second strategy that I used was context clues as I am reading the setce, I think the word would mean to  protest because it says that he did an action (he let them in) “without” “demour” so I think it would mean to going against.

The sentence including this word says "The driveling song seemed to have kept its popularity," referring to a song that is referenced quite a few times in this book. Before,the song is described as popular, and having a negative connotation however if sung a certain way, it seems much happier than it is. although in the conext of this sentence, it sounds like the listener is tired of hearing it, so I will assume that driveling means "overused" or "ongoing."

The second strategy I used was “replace the word”.  I replace “demur” with “hesitation” and got, “O’Brien’s servant, however, had admitted the two of them without hesitation.” The sentence makes sense even with this new word, so based off of that I can assume that my initial thought of the word meaning the servants hesitation or opinion was not put into his action in leaving the room.
