Which type of QAR involves answering questions without the text?

On My Own
Right There
Think and Search
Author and You

The correct answer is: On My Own

The type of Question-Answer Relationship (QAR) that involves answering questions without needing the text is the "On My Own" category. This type of QAR is characterized by questions that require personal opinions, experiences, or prior knowledge, rather than responses that can be found in the text. Students may draw from their own insights and ideas to form answers, allowing for a more personal and authentic engagement with the material. In contrast, the other categories of QAR focus on different relationships between the text and the questions. "Right There" questions require information that can be directly found in the text, and "Think and Search" involves synthesizing information from various parts of the text. "Author and You" questions prompt students to connect their understanding or feelings about the text to their own experiences, but still rely on the text for context.
