In the SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) method, the pre-reading phase involves the initial steps that prepare the reader for comprehension of the material.

The steps that fall in the pre-reading phase from your provided options are:

  • Question: This step involves asking questions about the material before diving into reading, which sets a purpose for reading.
  • Question, Read: This option also includes the questioning step, so it falls in the pre-reading phase as well.

The other options, "Read" and "Read, recite," are not part of the pre-reading phase, as they involve reading the material itself.

a b c or d

From the options you provided, the correct answer would be:

b. Question

This is the only option that explicitly falls in the pre-reading phase of the SQ3R method.

If you meant for "Question, Read" also to be included in the answer choices, then d. Question, Read would align with the idea of posing questions before reading, but strictly speaking, "Question" is the clear answer for just the pre-reading step.
