From the options listed the strategy that would be least useful for helping students monitor comprehension of a text as they are reading is (A) breaking long sentences into short phrases
This option does not seem the most effective since it is a simplification or summary of sentences and the simplification does not always imply apprehension nor a correct hierarchization of the text.
Answer:
From the passage, I can infer that:
The desert cities with increasing population experience drought due to low rainfall which causes problem to the populace.
Explicit detail from the passage: "The most obvious issue is the lack of water."
Implicit detail from the passage: "This population boom is hard on the desert environments of these cities."
Explanation:
An explicit detail gives a very clear and well understood detail. It is umabiguious and without vagueness. While an implicit detail does not give a very clear and direct detail. It is usually implied or assumed.
From the passage, we can see that lack of water is found in deserts. The detail is explicit and with facts.
But saying that the population boom is hard on the desert environments seem implied or the author's assumption.
This is what I searched up in google. You can put it in your own words if you want to.
