In a comprehension discussion after reading, the student correctly answers the boy's name. This demonstrates which skill?

• A. Recall of details
• B. Inference
• C. Predicting
• D. Summarizing

Answer: (A)

Retrieving explicit details from a text is the skill being tested. When the student correctly names the boy after reading, they’re showing they can locate and recall a specific fact that was stated directly in the passage. That matches recall of details.

Think of the other skills to see why this fits here: inferring would involve using clues to figure out something not directly stated, predicting would be guessing what might happen next, and summarizing would mean restating the main ideas in your own words. This situation centers on pulling out a concrete piece of information that the text provides, which is why recall of details is the best fit.
