Describe between the lines and beyond the text questions. How are they similar?

A between the lines question asks about something that is not fully explained in the text. A beyond the text question asks you to connect the content of a text to your own lives or the things you know. Both of these types of questions ask you to look at the bigger picture and to think about the meaning of the text.
