Lucy needs to find the most common definition of fascism. which is the best strategy for lucy to use? (a) consult the first definition of available for the term in the dictionary.(b) go to the library and check out a book of fascism.(c) create an online survey to see how most people use this term.(d) use a thesaurus to determine the most common meaning.

(A).

Explanation:

(A) It is the easiest but not the best way to explore and understand the word completely. And, first definition can possibly be just a formal representation of "fascism." But as she needs only to find the most common meaning here, this is the right option to choose.

(B) No need to check a book on fascism to understand a simple meaning. It would waste Lucy's precious time. This is a good option while creating an article over the same topic.

(C) This can cause more confusion because of the lack of reliability of the sources writing about it.

(D) In my opinion, this way will help understand and comprehend the word more deeply through thesaurus because it explains each word and the concepts surrounding it. Comparisons in this book would also refine Lucy's knowledge about "fascism." Yet again, she only needs a simple definition of the word. So, this not a good choice.
