Question

Read the following paragraph as quickly as you can, and see if you encounter any difficulties.

Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by itslef but the wrod as a wlohe. This has been presented as an example of a principle of human reading compre- hension. If you keep the first letter and the last letter of a word in their correct positions, then scramble the letters in between, the word is still quite readable in the context of an accompanying paragraph. However, it seems that this is a bit of a myth and not truly based on solid research.

Answer 1

I had no difficulty in reading the paragraph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The paragraph begins with words written in a totally disorganized way. The first and last letters of each word are positioned correctly, but the letters in the middle of the word are completely scrambled, but it is still possible to read without difficulties.

The paragraph talks about exactly this ability that we have to read the word as a whole and not letter by letter. For this reason, according to a survey, if the last and the first letter are positioned correctly, the other letters of the word may be scrambled, which we will be able to read.
