Reading strategies in the English Language Teaching context often involve specific cognitive processes such as scanning, skimming, and predicting. However, a less frequently discussed but vital technique for advanced critical literacy is the "Socratic Questioning" method applied to texts, which aims to uncover underlying assumptions and perspectives within a passage. Considering the development of high-level reading skills, choose the correct alternative regarding reading strategies.

(a)

Scanning is the process of reading every single word of a literary text to ensure that the emotional nuances and metaphorical meanings are fully grasped by the reader.

(b)

Critical reading involves the identification of the author's tone and the evaluation of the evidence provided to support ideological claims within a specific socio-historical context.

(c)

Skimming is a technique used primarily for locating specific dates or names within a long academic paper without understanding the general theme or main idea of the work.

(d)

Predicting is a reading strategy that should be strictly avoided in a classroom environment because it encourages students to guess information rather than relying on the text.
