To improve understanding of an informational paragraph, which questions are best to ask? Select 5 options.What is this paragraph mostly about?Are there any unfamiliar words I need to learn?What is the author’s claim?How does the evidence relate to the claim?How long is this paragraph compared to the others?Is the evidence relevant to the claim?Should the author cut this paragraph from the text?

To understand an informational paragraph, identify its main idea and clarify unfamiliar words. If it makes an argument, also identify the author’s claim and consider how the evidence supports that claim and whether the evidence is relevant. Comparing paragraph lengths or deciding whether a paragraph should be cut focuses more on editing than on understanding its content.
