Question

Which question is most appropriate to ask during the reading of a text?

Answer 1

Ofcourse the initial thing to ask when reading a text is What is the author's purpose in writing this text.

Explanation: The initial thing to ask is the author's purpose of his writing because if someone writes there should be a purpose beyond it, and that purpose should be known to understand the text. For example if a writer writes about the abolition of slavery you should know the purpose of his writing. Without knowing how could you get the text.

Answer 2

Answer:

What is the author's purpose in writing this text?

Explanation:

I think it is A; now this is just my opinion. The question "What strategies can I use to help me better understand this section?" and "What is the most important idea for me to remember from this text?" seemed like they were asking the same thing. While question A is focusing more on the author. The other question is an obviously wrong. I'm stuck between the first and last question, because both could possibly be right it just depends on how the question is being answer. Hope this helps; this is just my opinion.
