Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 1 AIL 0036 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Whether a Reading Can Be Wrong
Captions available
The idea
Literary questions have defensible answers rather than proofs, and the board writes options so that one is better supported than the others. A reading is wrong on this exam when the words on the page do not carry it, not when a teacher disagrees.
In practice
Better supported, not merely arguable.
Where people slip
Defensible is not the same as right.
