What is another way in which the definition of these vocabulary words could be organized within this text?

in captions
in headings
in graphs
in sidebars

Answer 1

Another way the definition of these vocabulary words could be organized within this text is with sidebars.

In textbooks, vocabulary words are often placed in sidebars, which are those little sections on the right or left of a book that give you extra information. It would be good to put definitions in sidebars because the definitions are extra information, and the purpose of a sidebar is to provide extra information.

Answer 2

in sidebars is your best answer.

Placing the definitions towards the side for people who do not know what it means is a good choice, because it does not affect the flow of the text.

hope this helps
