Reading strategies vary based on the reader's purpose. When looking for specific information, readers use techniques that help them quickly locate exact details rather than reading or understanding the entire text deeply.Key Points

  • When a reader is searching for specific information such as a name, date, fact, or keyword, they typically scan through the content.
  • Scanning is a reading strategy where the eyes move quickly over the text to locate precise information without reading every word. It is focused, efficient, and goal-oriented.

Hint

  • Reading fast and skimming help gain a general idea, not specific details.
  • Study reading is slow, thorough reading aimed at full comprehension, which is not suitable when the purpose is just to find particular facts.

Hence, the correct answer is scans through the content.
