A reading task asks students to find a date in a news article, explain the author’s stance, and infer the meaning of an unfamiliar word from nearby cues. Which sequence of strategies matches those three moves?


A

Skimming to locate the date, scanning to grasp the stance, and inferring the unfamiliar word by recalling a stored dictionary definition rather than reading surrounding sentences.


B

Scanning to capture the overall stance, skimming to locate the date, and inferring the unfamiliar word mainly through similarity to Portuguese forms that look familiar.


C

Skimming to capture the stance, scanning to locate the date, and inferring the unfamiliar word mainly through prefixes and suffixes, even when context points elsewhere.


D

Scanning to identify the stance, skimming to guess the date, and inferring the unfamiliar word from the headline, treating local sentence cues as secondary evidence.


E

Scanning to locate the date, skimming to capture the stance, and inferring the unfamiliar word from nearby sentence and paragraph cues that constrain its meaning.
