Which of the following best describes evaluative comprehension?

Understanding literal meanings in the text
Connecting ideas across different texts
Judging the quality and credibility of the text
Recalling facts from the material

The correct answer is: Judging the quality and credibility of the text

Evaluative comprehension involves the ability to critically assess and make judgments about the information presented in a text. This includes analyzing the quality, credibility, and value of the text's content, such as determining whether the arguments are well-supported, the sources are trustworthy, or the conclusions are valid. This type of comprehension goes beyond simply understanding the text or recalling facts, requiring readers to engage with the material in a more reflective and analytical manner. The other options focus on different aspects of reading comprehension, such as understanding literal meanings, connecting ideas across texts, or recalling specific facts, which do not encompass the critical evaluation aspect that is central to evaluative comprehension.
