Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Olga used the active reading strategy of reflecting on her comprehension by recognizing that she did not understand the passage and then rereading it to improve her understanding. Choice A (trying to memorize important content) may be a strategy used during studying or note-taking, but it is not specific to active reading. Choice B (skimming the main ideas in a passage) is a passive reading strategy, as it involves reading quickly without fully engaging with the material. Choice D (engaging in perception while reading) is not a specific active reading strategy and does not address how Olga specifically approached the passage.
