A teacher plans a reading lesson using a complex magazine article. Before reading, students predict content from the title and images. During reading, they identify the author's position and trace referents across paragraphs. After reading, they write a response comparing the article's argument with another source. 
Consider the statements:
I.Prediction activates prior knowledge and creates purposes for reading.
II.Tracing referents supports local cohesion and the construction of meaning across sentences.
III.Comparing arguments requires students to move beyond retrieval toward evaluation and synthesis.
IV.The sequence assesses reading accurately even when the written response is unrelated to evidence from the sources.
Mark the alternative that presents only the CORRECT statements.
