Which action is described as part of evaluation?

• A. Expressing opinions
• B. Decoding words
• C. Memorizing details
• D. Scanning for punctuation

Answer: (A)

Evaluation in reading involves judging a text’s quality, credibility, and impact, then explaining your stance with evidence from what you read. Expressing opinions fits here because it requires taking a reader’s judgment and articulating a conclusion about the text, supported by reasons and examples from the text itself. The other actions are different kinds of processing: decoding words is about recognizing and sounding them out; memorizing details is about recalling specific facts; scanning for punctuation is about noticing structure and conventions rather than forming an evaluative judgment.
