B.Inquire
C.Verify
D.Differentiate
The answer to this question is A. Infer
Explanation:
Infer as part of reading implies analyzing the explicit details and information to understand the real meaning. This implies by inferring the reader can better understand a text and grasp all the ideas the author conveys especially implicit ones. This process is also known as reading between lines because the reader needs to get the hidden meaning or ides, which are "between lines" or can be get through a deep examination of ideas in lines. In this context, the term "read between lines" can be replaced by the word "infer."
If Selma wants to evaluate what went wrong when she tried to make this recipe, she should ask the following question: Did I dissolve the sugar before adding the final three ingredients?
This is the only one of the questions which refers to the specific recipe and the steps Selma should have followed, thus, evaluating what has happened.
<u>Question 1</u> asks about what can be done to improve what has already been done, so it doesn't refer to what has happened but rather to possible future steps that could impove the result.
<u>Question 2</u> tests the recipe but it doesn't assess Selma's performance on this one.
<u>Question 3</u> is irrelevant to the procedure followed as it compares this recipe to her mother's one and not the steps recommended in this recipe to the steps that Selma followed.
