Reflection:
You are able to answer most of the questions through the context because the questions are verbatim to the sentences in the passages. These questions do not challenge your comprehension or understanding of the text; rather, if you can identify where the sentences identify the answer to the questions, then you are able to answer them. This reading shows that most often, textbooks or workbooks do not question comprehension, they are questioning the answers that are placed in the reading without any need of outside knowledge or great thinking involved. Questions should be thought provoking and engaging and the danger of questions like this is that they are not doing either of those. This allows students to get away with not having to think about the text, answering the questions correctly, getting the full credit and then never revisiting this topic again. These types of questions are dangerous and the easy way out.
