Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Individuals with a limited literacy may have a limited vocabulary and general knowledge and do not ask for clarification. They may focus on details and deal in literal or concrete concepts versus abstract concepts. They may select responses on a survey without necessarily understanding them and may be unable to understand math. They may have a low motivation to engage in learning or may drop subtle clues that they cannot read by stating they will look at information later or take it home. The level of anxiety may vary among these individuals; it is more common for these in-dividuals to request to read it later.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Assessment would be identifying educational needs, evaluation would be evaluating educational process, and implementation would be implementing the educational plan. Planning is similar to selecting appropriate educational methods.
