If juna is monitoring her comprehension as she reads, then she is a. keeping track of the pages she reads. b. keeping track of how long she reads. c. asking herself what she understands. d. asking herself what she likes best.

The correct answer is C. Asking herself what she understands

Explanation:

In reading, monitoring comprehension is a technique used to check understanding while reading, in this technique the reader takes short pauses every few lines or paragraphs and try to verify the content she/he has understood and if there is any information that it is not clear. This technique guarantees efficient reading as by it the reader can identify issues in understanding and solve them before trying to understand new information. Additionally, the point of monitoring comprehension is to check understanding rather than the number of pages read or the favorite section. Thus, if Juna is monitoring her comprehension she is asking herself what she understands.

We’re waiting for the awful grandmother who is inside dropping pesos into la ofrenda box before the altar to La Divina Providencia. Lighting votive candles and genuflecting. Blessing herself and kissing her thumb. Running a crystal rosary between her fingers. Mumbling, mumbling, mumbling.  

There are so many prayers and promises and thanks-be-to-God to be given in the name of the husband and the sons and the only daughter who never attend mass. It doesn’t matter. Like La Virgen de Guadalupe, the awful grandmother intercedes on their behalf. For the grandfather who hasn’t believed in anything since the first PRI elections. For my father, El Periquín, so skinny he needs his sleep. For Auntie Light-skin, who only a few hours before was breakfasting on brain and goat tacos after dancing all night in the pink zone. For Uncle Fat-face, the blackest of the black sheep—Always remember your Uncle Fat-face in your prayers. And Uncle Baby— You go for me, Mamá—God listens to you.
