A quick question :
How we should guess for example in this example about "rant" word? As it mentioned at the text angry customer would go to the cashier to complain about long line and for sure will not talk in a pleasant way!!!
As I understood this method does not have any specific formula, just all about guessing & wide range of vocabulary knowledge! or is there any missing point that I should consider to choose the right answer ?

Your reply is highly appreciated

I'd say we're predicting the word (rather than guessing the word). The context of the sentence tells us the customer is ANGRY, and the part that says "to the cashier about having to wait so long" tells us that the customer SPOKE to the cashier.

So, our prediction could be something like ANGRY SPEECH.

Does that help?

Cheers,
