Prose Literacy - Level 1

Most of the questions and directives at this level require readers to identify a single piece of concrete information such as persons, places, things, attributes, amounts, types, actions, or procedures. This information is typically located in a single, short piece of text. The language in which the answer is stated is synonymous with that used in the question or directive. If present, distracting information is located in another paragraph.
