The right answer is "c.If one is unable to understand what is written, any conclusions drawn from it are likely to be flawed."

Nowadays, people are very immediate and sometimes only read the title or the first line of a journalistic text or post. Without giving importance to the interpretation and understanding of the text. No one has the ability to interpret without reading in full the textual genres

Therefore, reading comprehension should be present 24 hours in our lifetime. Because its importance is in the acquisition of spoken and written vocabulary, argumentative ability, world knowledge and construction of critical thinking. If someone fails in their reading comprehension, their critical thinking will be weak and their conclusions will probably be wrong.
