Question

1. Jeb looked through the paper and came across an article called "A Look Back at the Civil War." He
wondered if the article had any information on Robert E. Lee. He ran his eyes quickly over the article,
looking for the name Robert E. Lee. He did this in order to _______ the article.
A. preview
B. review
C. scan
D. understand

Answer 1

D. Understand

Answer 2

I wouldn't say Jeb did this in order to Understand the article. If Jeb truly wanted to understand the article he would have read the article. So, I doubt that Jeb was looking to understand the article. Knowing this we can eliminate option D. If we look at what Jeb is doing in the story we see that he is running his "eyes quickly over the article," to find the name Robert E. Lee. Therefor, Jeb is doing what to the article?"
