    The "title" feature of a _______ text may reveal information about the text's plot or theme.

    Explanation
    The "title" feature of a fiction text may reveal information about the text's plot or theme. Fiction refers to literature that is based on imaginary events and characters, and the title of a fiction text often provides clues or hints about what the story is about. It can give the reader an idea of the genre, setting, or main idea of the text, helping them anticipate the plot or theme that will be explored within the story.

    Fiction is a genre that is real, as in it could "really happen."

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Fiction is a genre that is not real, as it consists of stories and events that are imagined or invented rather than being based on real-life occurrences. Fictional works can include elements that are fantastical or impossible in reality, making them different from non-fiction genres that deal with real events and facts. Therefore, the statement that fiction is a genre that is real and could "really happen" is incorrect.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    This image is an example of a character that would be found in the nonfiction genre because nonfiction refers to factual and real events, people, and information. The image represents a character, which implies that it is based on a real person or a factual representation rather than a fictional creation. Therefore, it aligns with the characteristics of the nonfiction genre.

    Explanation
    Nonfiction can be written for various purposes, including to inform, persuade, entertain, or reflect upon an experience or event. This means that nonfiction writing can serve multiple objectives simultaneously. It can provide factual information and educate the reader, present arguments and try to convince the audience, offer an engaging and enjoyable reading experience, or share personal reflections and insights about a specific experience or event. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above," as nonfiction writing can encompass all of these purposes.

    Explanation
    The message that an author is trying to communicate is called the theme. The theme is the underlying message or central idea that the author wants to convey through their writing. It is a recurring or dominant idea that can be inferred from the plot, characters, and other elements of the story. The theme provides deeper meaning and insight into the text and allows readers to connect with the story on a more profound level.

    Correct Answer
    A. Reread the text, mark the text, and read the text aloud
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Reread the text, mark the text, and read the text aloud." These strategies are effective for both fiction and nonfiction reading. Rereading the text helps to deepen comprehension and understanding. Marking the text, such as underlining or highlighting important information, aids in active engagement with the material. Reading the text aloud helps with pronunciation, fluency, and overall comprehension. These strategies promote active reading and enhance the reader's interaction with the text, leading to improved comprehension and retention of information.
