Answer:
D Making Predictions
Step-by-step explanation:
Making predictions is a reading strategy which increases students' interests and focus during reading. Students can make prediction first, before starting the actual reading i.e by title, sub-title, and headings. During the actual reading process they can verify their predictions as well as make new predictions based on the available knowledge in the text, and previous knowledge.
Option A and B (applying knowledge and analogies) are steps and skills used to make predictions.
Option C is not correct because guessing something hardly involves any reasoning or knowledge. moreover "making accurate guesses" is an ambiguous term in comparison with "making predictions"
