Step 2:

From the question, we have that Lin read:


\begin{gathered} (3)/(8)\text{ of a magazine article on Monday} \\ (1)/(8)\text{ of the article on Tuesday} \end{gathered}

We are then asked to find the fraction of the article that she read on Monday and Tuesday:

This means:


(3)/(8)\text{ +}(1)/(8)\text{ = }\frac{3+1\text{ }}{8}\text{ =}(4)/(8)\text{ =}(1)/(2)\text{ --- OPTION C}

CONCLUSION:

The final answer is:


(1)/(2)\text{ --OPTION C}
