Harper is selecting a fiction text for personal enjoyment. She is in eleventh grade and reads at her grade level; she enjoys mys
teries and thrillers. She does not like sci-fi. She enjoys camping and hiking. Based on this information, which text would a person most likely recommend to Harper? a collection of poetry written by various poets throughout history about the beauty of nature a short story about a group of teenagers who are abducted by aliens while on a camping trip a novel about two modern-day explorers seeking a missing treasure deep in the wooded mountains a drama set in a small community about young couple who fall in love against their parents’ wishes
A novel about two modern-day explorers seeking a missing treasure deep in the wooded mountains
Explanation:
Harper enjoys mysteries and thrillers, so that marks out the drama about the young couple and the poetry written about nature (although it does talk about nature, which she likes, it does not have the thrill that she wants). However, she also does not enjoy sci-fi. This knocks out the short story about teenagers being abducted by aliens, even though it is about a camping trip. Now, there is only one left: the novel about the explorers seeking treasure in the mountains. It has the thrill that she desires, and it is set in the mountains. It is also at her reading level, as it is a novel as opposed to a short story. All in all, this is the text that I would recommend to Harper.
