What does close reading aim to develop in readers?

A superficial understanding of content
A deep understanding of the text’s meaning and elements
The ability to read quickly
The habit of asking questions

The correct answer is: A deep understanding of the text’s meaning and elements

Close reading aims to develop a deep understanding of the text's meaning and elements by encouraging readers to analyze the text closely, paying attention to details, language, structure, and overall themes. This approach helps readers uncover underlying meanings, make inferences, and connect different parts of the text to develop a comprehensive understanding of the material.
