A news post shows a headline, a photo, a bar chart and a caption, and meaning shifts depending on how these modes interact. The key point about multimodal reading is.


A

The written headline carries the core meaning, and visuals mainly add mood, so careful readers can ignore images without changing the interpretation of the message.


B

The chart carries the meaning, so caption and layout become secondary, because numerical values remain stable and interpretation depends little on viewing path.


C

Modes work together, with visuals framing what the text highlights and layout guiding attention, so meaning emerges from integrating verbal, visual and spatial cues.


D

The photo steers the message, while the headline mirrors it closely, which reduces inference and makes readings converge for most viewers across contexts.


E

Layout shapes reading speed, yet meaning is settled by written sentences, so visual tension is typically resolved by prioritizing the text over the image.
