Question

when the reading test asks you to consider point of view, it includes the stance, attitude, or bias of the ____. ○ author ○ test creator ○ reader ○ previous passage question 16 1 pts synthesis questions involve two passages which present opposing positions on ____. ○ scientific research ○ different issues ○ two people ○ the same issue

Explanation:

First Question (about point of view in Reading Test)

In reading comprehension, when analyzing point of view (stance, attitude, bias), we focus on the author of the passage. The test creator designs the test, the reader is the one taking the test, and a previous passage isn't the source of the stance here. So the correct option is "author".

Synthesis questions in reading typically involve two passages that present opposing positions on the same issue. This is because synthesis requires comparing and contrasting arguments about a single topic. They don't focus on different issues (as that would be unrelated), two people (not the focus), or just scientific research (too narrow). So the correct option is "the same issue".

Answer:

A. author
