Answer 3

Thank you for your input. Let's reevaluate question 5:

5. Alan often goes back to the beginning of a sentence or paragraph and starts reading the information over again. What might be happening to Alan?

- a. Alan has a problem with his eyes
- b. Alan has poor concentration habits
- c. Both of these
- d. There is nothing wrong with Alan’s technique

If we consider that going back to reread could be an indication of poor concentration, then **B** (Alan has poor concentration habits) is a reasonable answer.

Thank you for pointing that out! So the revised answer for question 5 is indeed **B**.
