How is it that you are able to answer
such questions?
I found this
passage difficult to read and determine meaning. So I looked for key words that were used many times from the questions. Then, I reread the passage or sentence the key word was in to ensure it was the answer I needed to answer the question.
What does this experience suggest about
the kinds of “comprehension” questions found in workbooks and on standardized
tests?
Using passages like
this one that don’t really make sense to the reader makes it difficult to
determine meaning from it. Often times on standardized tests students just read
the questions, look for clue words, and answer the questions without gaining
any real meaning from the text.
