However, it does not mention how other environmental groups view the Climate Action League’s efforts or how the CAL works with other organizations.

Answer
A
Reading vertically limits what can be learned about a source.
B
Reading vertically does not allow for examining the parts of a source.
C
Reading vertically ignores advertisements as an indicator of reliability
D
Reading vertically does not consider how language can reveal bias.

Explanation

Reading vertically means examining one source closely, such as the Climate Action League’s website. That can reveal CAL’s own goals and strategies, but it cannot show how other organizations view CAL or how they work together. Those questions require comparing information across multiple sources, so the best choice is “Reading vertically limits what can be learned about a source.”
