nyways question iss:

Each child in a group of young children read aloud both a short paragraph and a list of randomly ordered words from the paragraph. The more experienced readers among them made fewer pronunciation errors in whichever task they performed second, whether it was the list or the paragraph. The order in which the two tasks were performed , however, had no effect on the performance of beginning readers, who always made fewer pronunciation errors when reading the paragraph than when reading the list.

Which of the following if true most helps to explain why the order in which the tasks were performed was not significant for the beginning readers ?

1)Bcoz several words were used more than once in the paragraph but only once in the list, the list was shorter than the paragraph.

2)In reading paragraph the more experienced readers were better at using context to guess at difficult words than were the beginning readers.

3)The more experienced readers sounded out difficult words while the beginning readers relied solely on context to guess at difficult words.

4)Both tasks used the same words so that the words the children read in whichever task was performed first would be recognized in the second task.


PS: Plz post the reasons for ur answers..dont just use ur gut feelings

i will go with option 3. now since it is stated that the beginning readers made more mistakes when given the list it shows that they were not aware of those words. so has to be that they go by the context and not the word as such...

and ya u can post such quests on the thread for va quests. link is

thanx..

hi puys...OA of this quesion is option (A)

[bhupi3149]

A>All the facts thus predicted by the theory is confirmed by experiment.
B>There is no known process which permit the direct measurement of the mass of an electron.

C>In the case of the cathode rays emitted by radium, these measurements are particularly interesting, for the reason that the rays which compose a pencil of cathode rays are animated by very different speeds.

D>Professor Kaufmann has effected some very careful experiments by the method of crossed spectra.

E>He has thus been enabled by working in vacuo to register the very different velocities which, starting in the case of certain rays from about seven-tenths of the velocity of light, attain in other cases in ninety-five hundredths of it.

OPTIONS

1) A, B, D and E
2) A, B and E
3) Only C
4) A, B and C
5) D and E

B There is no known process which permits......
same error as above singular- plural

OA for this question is option 3. reason as given by hansini that beginners relied solely on context usage of the word.
