Explanation:

• Limiting to only highlighting/underlining without marginal notes is less effective, as it doesn't add active engagement or personal analysis to aid understanding.
• Identifying explicitly defined terms clarifies key concepts central to the text's meaning.
• Circling unfamiliar terms and adding definitions builds vocabulary and removes comprehension barriers.
• Adding reactions and questions in margins encourages active reading, helping track confusion and critical engagement with the text.
