select all of the correct answers.
what does the process of close reading help a reader do?
□ understand how the story ends
□ analyze and critique the story
□ understand the story in just one reading
□ understand the literary elements of the story
□ comprehend the surface meaning of the story

Explanation:

Close reading involves in - depth examination. It helps in analyzing (looking at different aspects) and critiquing (evaluating) the story. Also, it allows understanding of literary elements (like plot, character, theme etc.) which are not just the surface - level or one - reading understanding. Understanding how the story ends is more about plot recall and not the essence of close reading. Comprehending the surface meaning is too basic and close reading goes beyond that. And understanding in just one reading is not the goal of close reading as it often requires multiple readings for in - depth analysis.

Answer:

analyze and critique the story, understand the literary elements of the story
