SECTION A Read the questions below carefully and write all your responses in paragraph form.
QUESTION 1 1.1. According to Leland et al. (2013), we need to understand that texts often embrace

reading. How can being sensitive to the cultural context of a text help readers avoid misunderstandings
or misinterpretations of its themes and characters?
