Question

Which of the following is not a way to acquire background knowledge about the cultural context of a text? A. reading the introductory material B. looking at pictures and reading captions C. paying attention to footnotes D. skipping every other paragraph while browsing a text

Answer 1

skipping every other paragraph while browsing a text

Answer 2

Answer:

D. skipping every other paragraph while browsing a text

Explanation:

Skipping every paragraph while browsing a text only makes you miss every other piece of information, and most likely you will not understand the paragraph you found because the text will be connected among paragraphs. Reading the introductory material will familiarize you with the information you are about to read. Looking at pictures can help you to picture the context of the text, and the footnotes will explain difficult concepts you may find among the reading. Therefore the correct answer is option D.
