Question

Which reading style is best suited to getting a general sense of what a document is about? close reading scanning skimming

Answer 1

Hi! :)

Close reading is typically reading a document all the way through and very thorough, and scanning is when you read the entire document looking for a specific piece of information. Skimming, however, is just lightly reading over something to get an idea of what the document is about. I would say your answer should be skimming.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The answer is skimming. Careful, you asked your English question under Biology! :}
