What is the most useful method for deciding which dictionary definition is the best one for an unfamiliar word you have found in a passage?
It's called context. If you read "The captain looked over the bow as the salt spray washed over him." the context suggests that he is on a sailing ship. But you don't know the word "bow" so you look it up. "A floppy loopy knot often tied in a ribbon" is one definition, but was the captain looking at a floppy loopy knot? Don't think so. Try again: "A bent piece of wood with a cord for shooting arrows" Was that what the captain was looking over? Hmm. How about "The front part of a ship"? The context tells you that this is the right definition.
