Question

when a reader evaluates an author’s style, the reader
memorizes
passages of
interest.
summarizes the
main topics in the
text.
adopts an attitude
toward the text.
judges it in a
careful and
thoughtful way.

Explanation:

Evaluating an author’s style involves analyzing elements like word choice, tone, structure, etc. This requires a careful, thoughtful judgment (the fourth option). Memorizing (first) or summarizing topics (second) aren’t evaluation. Adopting an attitude (third) is about the reader’s stance, not evaluating style.

Answer:

The fourth option (the rightmost box): judges it in a careful and thoughtful way.
