Answer 2

THE CORRECT OPTION IS D: Read, reread, paraphrase and take notes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option is the last one: D. Read, reread, paraphrase and take notes because all of them are strategies recommended to understand in a better way a text. To understand it better we have to define what a challenging text is and what it implies:

CHALLENGING TEXT: It is a text that is hard to read and/or understand do to different things that could include:

• Difficult lexicon

• Rare textual structure

• Unknown/ very specialized topic

• Many information

A challenging text doesn’t stop us in reading and comprehending things, instead of doing that we have to face it through special strategies made to help us:

1. Read: The first step is to read the text and underline while we identify where are our understanding blanks and where we don’t have any problem.
2. Reread: After identifying our weaknesses we have to reread the text while we are searching the difficult and unknown information (if it is necessary).
3. Paraphrase: In order to check that we assimilate the information correctly and we could paraphrase the text, which implies to say with OUR OWN WORDS what is the text about (we have to add all the main information). NOTE: It is not allowed to copy and paste
4. Take notes: By taking notes we were helping our brain to store the information more efficiently at the same time that we have a physical material to consult it later if it is necessary.

Following the anterior statements now we know what option D is the correct one. Options A, B and C are mistaken in one or more steps; for example, in option A guess is not a correct way to act because we have to base our process only in reliable information; in option B the error is in the order: we can answer something before asking it! And in option C the conclusion is before questioning, so it is wrong in order too.
