Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Comprehension is the process of understanding or extracting meaning from a sequence of words, sentences, or texts. It involves integrating prior knowledge, context, and language structures to create a mental representation of the message conveyed.

Note: 
Word recognition (A) refers to the ability to identify written words by matching them to their corresponding sounds or meanings. It is part of decoding (D), which involves translating written symbols into spoken or written words. Phonological awareness (C) refers to the ability to manipulate or analyze the sound structure of words, such as recognizing rhymes or breaking words into syllables. While phonological awareness is important for developing word recognition and decoding skills, it is not the same as comprehension, which involves higher level processing and understanding of meaning.
