Why is context important when selecting words in writing?

The right word depends on the context in which it is used. For example, "big" works for size, but "vast" may be better for describing large landscapes.

How can I help my child understand the importance of context in word selection?

Use real-world examples, like choosing words based on setting or audience, to show how context shapes word choice.

What are the benefits of teaching context-based word selection?
