Answer 2

Hi! :)

Close reading is typically reading a document all the way through and very thorough, and scanning is when you read the entire document looking for a specific piece of information. Skimming, however, is just lightly reading over something to get an idea of what the document is about. I would say your answer should be skimming. 

Hope this helps!
