Explanation:

• For question 6, identifying one's purpose is the initial step in reading as it guides the reading process. Writing a summary, skimming headings, and analyzing the author's perspective come later.
• For question 7, informational texts rely on objective evidence. Statistical data, expert opinions, and scientific research are objective, while emotional storytelling is more subjective and less typical in informational texts.
