    • Re-tell the plot

    Correct Answer
    A. Analyse a text
    Explanation
    This answer suggests that the first thing one needs to know how to do is analyze a text. This implies that the question is asking about a skill or ability that is important in a certain context or situation. It is likely that the question is related to a task or activity that involves reading and understanding a written text, and the correct answer emphasizes the importance of being able to analyze and interpret the content of the text.

    • Making your point AND providing supporting evidence from the text

    Correct Answer
    A. Making your point AND providing supporting evidence from the text
    Explanation
    The correct answer is making your point AND providing supporting evidence from the text. This means that in order to receive marks, you need to not only state your point clearly but also provide evidence from the text to support your argument. Simply making a point without any supporting evidence will not be sufficient to earn marks.

    A. Explaining what is the writer's purpose
    A. Making connections to the wider world or something else you have read
    Explanation
    Perceptive understanding of the text involves explaining how aspects of the text communicate ideas, as this demonstrates an understanding of the author's intended message. It also involves explaining what is the writer's purpose, as this shows an understanding of the author's intention behind writing the text. Additionally, making connections to the wider world or something else you have read is important for a comprehensive understanding of the text, as it allows for a broader perspective and deeper analysis.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    When providing supporting evidence, you must...

    • Add quotations from the text to illustrate your point

    • Add specific and relevant details from the text

    • Describe the plot or storyline in as much detail as you can

    Correct Answer
    A. Add specific and relevant details from the text
    Explanation
    Whilst adding quotations to illustrate your point is good, if the quotation is not relevant or specific to the point you are making, then there is no point adding it. Knowledge of plot is useful, but recounting the whole story is unnecessary and time-consuming. What's important is using an example that supports the point you are trying to make.
