What strategies do you use to better understand difficult reading material? Check all that apply. I slow down the pace of my reading so that I can read the text more carefully.
I look for photos or illustrations, then read the text below them for information.
I look for definitions in the glossary.
I take notes as I read.
I think about what the title and headings tell me about the text.

Which sentence from the text best develops the theme about the importance of compassion for other people? "besides, he was the only person in the whole place with skin nearly as dark as hers." "at first she wanted to intern at her dad's gas station, but her teacher told her she needed to branch out and signed michelle up at the oakcourt nursing home, only 15 minutes away from her house." "still, michelle had been curious, and she felt sorry that erkan had a bad reputation among the staff." "she too had felt like everyone mistrusted her--especially at the nursing home where she was so much younger than the rest of the staff--so she understood how he must feel."
