Which type of question asks students to find answers in two different parts of the text?

Right There
Think and Search
Author and You
On My Own

The correct answer is: Think and Search

The type of question that asks students to find answers in two different parts of the text is associated with the "Think and Search" category. This type of question requires students to synthesize information from various sections of a passage, encouraging them to draw connections between distinct ideas and details presented. By engaging with the text in this way, students enhance their comprehension skills as they must make inferences and integrate information rather than relying solely on a single location for their answers. Other types of questions, such as "Right There," typically have answers found explicitly in one location in the text. "Author and You" questions involve the reader's own insights combined with textual evidence, while "On My Own" questions ask for personal opinions or reflections without direct reference to the text. Therefore, the "Think and Search" questions specifically challenge students to look across multiple areas of the text to construct their answers, requiring a deeper level of analysis and understanding.
