All the difficult words in a given reading passage can be skipped or guessed from the context.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
This statement is false because it is not always possible to skip or guess the meaning of all difficult words in a reading passage from the context. While context can provide some clues about the meaning of unfamiliar words, there are instances where the context may not be sufficient to accurately guess the meaning. Additionally, skipping difficult words can lead to a lack of understanding and comprehension of the passage. Therefore, it is important to actively engage with unfamiliar words by using strategies such as looking up their definitions or seeking clarification.Rate this question:

-
So
-

Correct Answer
A. Due toExplanation
The signal words "So," "Then," and "Therefore" are commonly used to indicate cause and effect relationships. However, "Due to" is not typically used as a signal word for effect, but rather as a signal word for cause or reason. It is often used to explain the cause or reason behind something happening. Therefore, "Due to" is the correct answer as it does not belong to the category of signal words for effect.Rate this question:

The more specific the map should be the more intensive the reading becomes.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
This statement is true because when a map is more specific, it means that it includes more detailed information and features.

The reader needs to closely analyze the various symbols, colors, and labels on the map to interpret the specific information it provides. This can be more time-consuming and mentally demanding compared to reading a less specific or more generalized map.Rate this question:
