What type of questions do multi-level questions assess in expository texts?

  1. Only literal comprehension

  2. Think and Search questions only

  3. Various levels of comprehension including interpretative

  4. Author and You questions only

The correct answer is: Various levels of comprehension including interpretative

Multi-level questions in expository texts are designed to assess various levels of comprehension, which include interpretative, analytical, and critical thinking skills. This type of questioning extends beyond simple recall of information, prompting readers to delve deeper into the text by encouraging them to interpret meanings, analyze the author's intentions, and evaluate the information presented. When multi-level questions are utilized, they often ask students to connect the content with personal experiences or other texts, thus enhancing their understanding and ability to engage with the material at different cognitive levels. This comprehensive approach allows educators to gauge not only the students' literal understanding but also their ability to synthesize and apply knowledge, making it a valuable tool in reading instruction.
