Question

1. which phrase best describes what it means to interpret text?

describe how you feel about the text
organize your ideas about a theme in the text
explain what it means, based on evidence
construct a similar story

Explanation:

To interpret a text means to analyze and explain its meaning. The first option is about personal feelings, not interpretation. The second is about organizing ideas on a theme, not directly explaining meaning. The fourth is about creating a similar story, not interpreting. The third option, "explain what it means, based on evidence", matches the definition of text interpretation as it involves using evidence to clarify the text's meaning.

Answer:

C. explain what it means, based on evidence
