QAR strategy helps students distinguish between which two types of questions?

• A. Textually Explicit and Textually Implicit
• B. Textually Explicit
• C. Textually Implicit
• D. All of the Above

Answer: (A)

QAR helps students see how a question relates to the text by separating questions into those whose answers are stated directly in the passage and those whose answers must be inferred from the text. The two types are textually explicit, where the answer is right there in the words of the passage, and textually implicit, where you have to use clues and reasoning to figure it out. The best choice names both of these categories, because that’s exactly what QAR distinguishes. Picking a option that mentions only one type misses half the questions, and saying all of the above would be incorrect since QAR focuses on these two specific kinds of questions.
