What always happens during active reading is A. The reader is engaged with and thinking about a text.
The definition of <em>active reading is reading something with attention, engagement, and determination to understand it.</em> When the reader engages critically with the content, asking himself or herself assessment questions during his or her reading, writing down key-words and pondering about the content, he or she is reading actively. <em>It consists of a comprehension technique that necessarily depends on the reader's engagement with the text.</em> Therefore, the correct answer is A.
The correct answer couldn't be <em>B. The reader is reading a piece of literature aloud.</em> Reading aloud is <em>one of the techniques used in active reading, but it isn't necessary and it doesn't always happen during active reading.</em> Some people use this technique in order to focus better. Some people prefer reading silently, but use other techniques to engage with the reading. So, the correct answer couldn't be B.
The correct answer couldn't be <em>C. The reader is thinking about an author's other works</em>. Collecting research information and data from an author's other works<em> can help the reader engage and have more ideas about the text he or she is reading, but it is not something necessary to read actively,</em> therefore, it doesn't happen always during active reading. Thus, the correct answer couldn't be C.
The correct answer couldn't be <em>D. The reader is summarizing a text. Summarizing a text is just another technique</em> used to engage with the text. There are <em>many different techniques used to read actively</em>, and summarizing is one of them. Not everybody uses the same techniques because everyone's learning process is different. T<em>hey don't have to use the same techniques, as long as they engage and read critically in order to understand the content</em> of what they are reading. Hence, the correct answer couldn't be D.
The girl's went out to find what had happen to the other girls' rabbit.
The massive scope of World War 2 drew millions of American men into the armed services very quickly. As a result, women had to leave the home and go to work - partly to replace the income lost when their husbands, fathers, brothers, etc. went to war, are partly to help support the war effort at home. Suddenly, women who had never considered working outside the home were working together in factories, and businesses, learning trades and skills that had been primarily reserved for men up until that point. By the time the war ended, an entire generation of women had come to realize that they could be more independent than they had ever imagined. They liked earning their own money and enjoyed the mental and physical stimulation of leaving home and going to work every day. Because of their important contributions, women were also now valuable members of the work force and employers didn't want to lose these good employees. And since employers commonly paid women less than men to do the same job, retaining women in professional positions after the war made good business sense for business owners. African Americans were impacted in several different ways by World War 2. Arguably the greatest external factor on blacks was their intermingling (if not integration) with whites and others during the war. In many, many cases whites from rural parts of the country had never interacted with blacks in any meaningful way, and they certainly had not been in the life and death struggles presented on a daily basis of being in a war. A result of this racial mixing was the deterioration of long-held prejudices and greater acceptance of blacks by whites in normal society. This is not to say, racial barriers ceased to exist. In fact the civil rights movement, which led to many of those barriers being broken down didn't begin to capture the popular imagination for 20 more years and even today, almost 70 years since the end of world war 2, African Americans do not have equal status to whites in many aspects of our society and they still have fight for their rights on a daily basis.
