Answer:

B. Slow down and reread to find more clues about word meaning.

C. Annotate the text to highlight definitions.

D. Ask questions about words as she reads.

Step-by-step explanation:

Non-fiction books are those that describe real events or characters. The characters used in the writing are not imaginary. A book about self-driving cars would contain technical words and jargon. To have a proper understanding of what she is reading, Mai would have to read the text slowly since she is not very conversant with the words used.

She would annotate the text by making short notes on unfamiliar words and concepts. She should also ask anybody who is familiar with the subject questions about it.
