Kate was reading a book about different jobs people do. Each job had its own section with a big picture of someone doing that job and words underneath explaining what they do at work.
How does seeing the picture before reading the words help readers understand the jobs?
- It makes readers guess wrong about what the job involves
- It gives readers ideas about the job before they read (correct answer)
- It makes readers skip over the written information completely
- It confuses readers about what the words will say
Explanation: Pictures before text serve as visual previews that activate prior knowledge and help readers form expectations about the content they're about to read. Choice A suggests misinformation rather than preparation, Choice C implies avoidance of text, and Choice D suggests confusion rather than clarity.
