Jamal is about to read a story in his english textbook. the story is from a culture with which he is not familiar. which action is least likely to him understand the text? asking questions about the cultural context before he begins to read skipping titles, subtitles, and information in graphs, or captions so he can focus only on reading the passage looking for background information on the culture as he reviews the introductory material in his textbook reading footnotes in the text that provide clues about the cultural context

The correct answer is B. Skipping titles, subtitles, and information in graphs, or captions so he can focus only on reading the passage

Explanation:

The process of reading also implies reading materials or texts the reader might find unfamiliar or unknown which represents a challenge for the reader especially in terms of understanding a text from a different culture. However, there are some steps the reader can find to overcome this difference, this includes looking for information in other sources to understand the cultural context of the text; reading footnotes and others that provide information; asking question about the culture an answer them with the text itself of other sources and reading all details including titles, subtitles, images, graphs, etc as these usually provide information that help the reader understand the text.

This implies, in this case the action that would not help Jamal to understand a story from an unknown culture is "Skipping titles, subtitles, and information in graphs, or captions so he can focus only on reading the passage" because by skipping any element of the text Jamal would get less information or clues to understand the text itself, as these elements commonly provide information about the culture or about the story itself.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
