Answer:Literacy is most commonly defined as the ability to read and write.
But it’s not as simple as it sounds. Reading and writing abilities vary across different cultures and contexts, and these too are constantly shifting.
Nowadays, ‘reading’ encompasses complex visual and digital media as well as printed material. An elderly person who can read the newspaper might struggle to get information from Google.
Similarly, different cultures will have different perceptions of literacy. The writing traditions of the English language make reading comprehension an essential part of literacy, but this might not be as important in cultures or groups that rarely read printed material.
Add to this the many people who move between cultures and languages and you have a world where ‘literacy’ is almost entirely relative.
These complex factors make it difficult to create a stable definition of literacy. But if asked ‘what is literacy’, one could use UNESCO’s more complete definition:
Literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute, using printed and written materials associated with varying contexts.
Explanation:
Answer:
A or D.
Explanation:
“I thought back to the previous morning, remembering the crazy repacking of my sled with gear ending up in all the wrong places as I just stood there not wanting to offend anyone"
(A) or (D) are the most likely answers because there is no mention of blisters or hurt feet in the above sentence, and there is no mention of obstacles or challenges. Whereas, we know that the author did not want to offend anyone and that they were repacking the sled, so (B) is possible. Similarly, we know that the author is daydreaming about repacking the sled, so it is possible that the actions of the previous morning were causing issues in the current moment (C). Hope this helps!
