Answer to Question 1

Error would result in the teacher not knowing if the student did not answer the questions correctly because he or she did not know the social studies materials or if the reading demands were too great for the student. Likewise, an involved passage might have taxed the student's attention or short-term memory demands rather than the student's not learning the social studies material.

Answer to Question 2

A
