Why are passive readers most likely to have difficulty focusing on a text?

They use too many strategies.
They do too many things at once. (correct)
They prefer re-reading for meaning.
They lack interest in comprehension.

They do too many things at once.

Explanation:

The two types of readers are active and passive readers. Active readers love reading for understanding, even if it takes them a longer duration. Their purpose is to gain new knowledge and understand every bit of information in the text.

Passive readers, on the other hand, are those types of readers who read eagerly to finish the book. They depend on the writer to provide all the information about the book and would not work to understanding the text by themselves. They do too many things at once, not focusing on a particular thing at a time which makes them less likely to focus on a text.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
