## Answer key

1. A) Predicting what will happen next. Predicting is one of the comprehension strategies listed for interpreting texts ([Details](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/45598)).

2. Predicting means guessing what will happen next based on clues in the text, while inferring means figuring out something the text does not state directly by using context clues. A student might predict that a character will win a race after training hard, then infer that the character feels proud from the way the author describes their smile.

3. True. Context clues include words, phrases, punctuation, dialogue, and information in pictures, diagrams, charts, or graphs ([Details](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/45598)).

4. Six. The six strategies listed are predicting, inferring, making connections, summarizing, synthesizing, and evaluating ([Details](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/45598)).

5. A) Favouring one thing, person, or group over another in an unfair way. This matches the definition of bias given for analyzing texts ([Details](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/45598)).

6. Answers will vary. A strong answer names a real experience, such as feeling nervous on the first day of a new school year, and connects it clearly to the character's situation in the text, showing a text-to-self connection ([Details](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/45598)).
