Critical reading may involve the following except


Discussing what you read with others


Reading quickly for the gist of what is being said


Pausing to reflect on what you read


Highlighting and annotating the text

Critical reading may involve the following except reading quickly for the gist of what is being said. If you skim over a passage or don't take your time, you won't be able to fully understand what you're reading. Critical reading entails understanding and reflecting on the text. Thus, option B is correct.

Through critical reading, you examine the assertions made in the text in greater detail, along with the points that support them and any potential objections. This method of language analysis does not accept the text at face value. Critical reading also includes the capacity to reinterpret and reconstruct for increased comprehensibility and readability.

This procedure requires the ability to recognize potential ambiguities and gaps in the author's logic as well as the capacity to resolve them thoroughly. Similar to academic writing, critical reading calls for the tying of supporting evidence to supporting arguments.

In June 2020, an Australian scuba diver was diving near Bondi Beach when he saw something unusual. As he was setting up to photograph a sea spider on a rock, he noticed some blue flashing rings. Looking more closely, he saw that the rings were on a small octopus. Luckily, he knew to stay far away. He was inches away from a southern blue-ringed octopus, one of the most venomous sea creatures in the world!

Sometimes, the most dangerous animals come in the smallest packages. This is definitely true for the southern blue-ringed octopus. This small animal usually only reaches a length of 8-10 inches. It usually looks like a common, small octopus. When it does not feel threatened, its skin is a light brown color. However, if a predator makes the octopus feel threatened, its skin will start to pulse with bright blue rings. This is how the octopus gets its name. When a predator sees this, it’s a visual sign, telling it to back away. If the predator doesn’t take the hint, the southern blue-ringed octopus might use its venom.

The venom that the southern blue-ringed octopus releases is more deadly than any venom released by land animals. Venom is different from poison. The venoms of many octopuses don’t immediately kill their victims. Instead, many of these venoms paralyze their victims. This means that the animal injected with the venom from one of these octopuses cannot move or defend itself. Eventually, the venom paralyzes the animal’s whole body, even its heart, so it dies. All octopuses are venomous, but the southern blue-ringed octopus’s venom is especially strong.

If the southern blue-ringed octopus feels threatened, it will use its venom in one of two ways. Sometimes, the octopus bites its victims, injecting them directly with venom. Other times, it will release a cloud of venom into the water. The other animal absorbs the venom through its gills. This venom is produced by bacteria in the octopus’s salivary glands. Those are the glands that produce saliva. People also produce saliva, which is the liquid in their mouths. However, unlike people, the saliva of the southern blue-ringed octopus has a toxin in it that causes muscle paralysis in the octopus’s victims. The southern blue-ringed octopus also uses its venom to hunt for prey. Like other blue-ringed octopus species, it mostly eats crustaceans, like small crabs and shrimp.

The southern blue-ringed octopus can be found along Australia’s southern coast. The octopus is usually found in tidal pools or in shallow areas near reefs. If you see a southern blue-ringed octopus, watch out! It has enough venom in its body to kill 26 adult humans. Although they’re extremely deadly, these octopuses are not aggressive. In fact, they are often described as shy creatures. They usually hide under ledges and rocks to try to avoid interaction with larger animals. Usually, the only times they hurt humans is when they are picked up or stepped on.

I must close now. But before closing I am impelled to mention one other point in your statement that troubled me profoundly. You warmly commended the Birmingham police force for keeping “order” and “preventing violence.” I don’t believe you would have so warmly commended the police force if you had seen its angry violent dogs literally biting six unarmed, nonviolent Negroes. I don’t believe you would so quickly commend the policemen if you would observe their ugly and inhuman treatment of Negroes here in the city jail; if you would watch them push and curse old Negro women and young Negro girls; if you would see them slap and kick old Negro men and young Negro boys; if you will observe them, as they did on two occasions, refuse to give us food because we wanted to sing our grace together. I’m sorry that I can’t join you in your praise for the police department.

In his “Letter from Birmingham City Jail,” how does Martin Luther King, Jr. connect the public and private actions of the police?

They are both meant to show nonviolence.

They are both meant to earn commendation.

They are both meant to preserve segregation.

They are both meant to avoid punishment.

What sounds are used as assonance in the poem below?
"The Harbor"
Passing through huddled and ugly walls, By doorways where women haggard Looked from their hunger-deep eyes, Haunted with shadows of hunger-hands, Out from the huddled and ugly walls, I came sudden, at the city's edge, On a blue burst of lake, Long lake waves breaking under the sun On a spray-flung curve of shore; And a fluttering storm of gulls, Masses of great gray wings And flying white bellies Veering and wheeling free in the open.​

"One of the most common forms of censorship in schools is banned books. Books have been challenged and then banned from schools and libraries for many reasons: profane language, sexual or violent content, and religious or political views. Since 1982, various groups have sought to remove or restrict access to 11,300 books in our nation’s schools and libraries (Crum, 2013). Some of these titles are works of noted literary merit, such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, Beloved by Toni Morrison, and The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. Even the children’s picture book Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak was challenged for being dark and disturbing (American Library Association, 2014). Organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) have fought banning books for a long time and have helped keep books like those mentioned above in our classrooms. Even so, both new and old books are challenged and banned every year. Unfortunately, when books are not allowed in schools and libraries, students are denied the opportunity to learn from them."
