Which of the following is NOT a step towards reading for information?

  1. Asking specific questions

  2. Determining relevance of information

  3. Memorizing text word for word

  4. Determining fact from opinion

The correct answer is: Memorizing text word for word

Memorizing text word for word is not a step towards reading for information because it does not promote comprehension or the ability to analyze and synthesize information. Reading for information involves engaging with the text to understand, evaluate, and apply the content effectively. This process requires critical thinking skills, such as asking specific questions to guide understanding, determining the relevance of the information to the context, and distinguishing between facts and opinions to assess the validity and reliability of the content. In contrast, mere memorization can hinder deeper understanding and the ability to use information meaningfully.
