Question: 1 / 190

Which question is most suitable for assessing inferential comprehension after reading a literacy text?

What would you have done as the main character?

Why did the main character behave in that way?

Where did the main character live at the start?

How do you think the main character felt during the event?

The question that focuses on how the main character felt during the event is particularly suitable for assessing inferential comprehension because it requires the reader to go beyond the literal information presented in the text. This question prompts the reader to connect their understanding of the character's experiences and emotions with the events that occurred, which involves making inferences based on textual clues. In assessing inferential comprehension, readers must analyze the context, consider the character's motivations, and interpret the implications of their actions and feelings. This level of understanding indicates a deeper engagement with the text and an ability to read between the lines, which is a key aspect of inferential thinking. In contrast, questions that ask for opinions on what the reader would have done or the reasons behind character behavior could lead to subjective interpretations that may not directly assess comprehension of the text itself. Additionally, questions about specific factual details, such as where the character lived, focus on recall rather than inference and deeper understanding.
