## Answer key

1. B) Predicting. Predicting means using clues in a text to make a guess about what comes next, then confirming or revising that guess as new information appears ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/45598)).

2. Any two of: words, phrases, punctuation, dialogue, or information in pictures, diagrams, charts, or graphs. These are the context clues readers use to infer meaning from a text ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/45606)).

3. True. Bias is defined as favouring one thing, person, or group over another, usually in a way that is considered unfair ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/45610)).

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

5. C) A disagreement with a sibling. The reasons given for a perspective changing are passage of time, experience, context, and new information, not a sibling disagreement ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/45610)).

6. A strong answer explains that a text's historical context (time and place) or social context (beliefs of the time) can shape how a reader understands characters' actions or ideas, and gives a specific example, such as how a story set long ago might show beliefs that were common then but seem unusual now ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/45614), [Understanding](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/45615)).
