What always happens during active reading is A. The reader is engaged with and thinking about a text.
The definition of <em>active reading is reading something with attention, engagement, and determination to understand it.</em> When the reader engages critically with the content, asking himself or herself assessment questions during his or her reading, writing down key-words and pondering about the content, he or she is reading actively. <em>It consists of a comprehension technique that necessarily depends on the reader's engagement with the text.</em> Therefore, the correct answer is A.
The correct answer couldn't be <em>B. The reader is reading a piece of literature aloud.</em> Reading aloud is <em>one of the techniques used in active reading, but it isn't necessary and it doesn't always happen during active reading.</em> Some people use this technique in order to focus better. Some people prefer reading silently, but use other techniques to engage with the reading. So, the correct answer couldn't be B.
The correct answer couldn't be <em>C. The reader is thinking about an author's other works</em>. Collecting research information and data from an author's other works<em> can help the reader engage and have more ideas about the text he or she is reading, but it is not something necessary to read actively,</em> therefore, it doesn't happen always during active reading. Thus, the correct answer couldn't be C.
The correct answer couldn't be <em>D. The reader is summarizing a text. Summarizing a text is just another technique</em> used to engage with the text. There are <em>many different techniques used to read actively</em>, and summarizing is one of them. Not everybody uses the same techniques because everyone's learning process is different. T<em>hey don't have to use the same techniques, as long as they engage and read critically in order to understand the content</em> of what they are reading. Hence, the correct answer couldn't be D.
Answer:
So I think at this point its quite clear... The American Dream has died... it was buried back sometime between 1955 and 1995 depending on who you talk to...But one thing is for certain, which is that its never coming back; not in its more traditional white picket fence, and solid corporate job form anyhow. And I for one am ecstatic....! Not for the total lack of economic security aspect, (which is distressing) but for the fact that people will be forced for once in their lives to try and define what it is that they really want out of life. Hope this helps!
<span>The example from ‘a visit of charity’ that slows down the pacing of the story is during the excerpt that reads or describes of how she wore a red coat with her yellow hair hanging down which are coming from her white cap, at the same time, all the little girls are wearing the same thing that year. It slows down the pacing of the story because it describes the appearance of the girl and how she is being differentiated or similar to the little girls. </span>
In "The Storyteller", by Saki, the theme that is best supported by the story the bachelor tells is <em>Pride comes before a fall.</em>
There are three children with their aunt on a train. They are boisterous. She tries to entertain them with a story about a good girl to whom good things happen. As the children are bored by it the bachelor, who travels in the same train tells them a story about a girl who is "horribly good". She has a lot of medals pinned in her dress and a wolf finds her because her medals make noise. Excessive pride comes before something bad makes you realize that you are not so good.
