This phrase functions much like "notably" in Part 3 articles, often appearing after a general statement to zoom in on one specific example, person, or detail. Since Part 3 questions frequently test your ability to find precise details within long paragraphs, spotting "in particular" helps you locate the exact piece of information a question is asking about. It usually comes right before or after the noun it emphasizes.
Synonyms: especially, notably, specifically
