This task is adapted from PISA 2012 and PIAAC’s Reading Components and would be a timed
task requiring the student to also read and select words to ensure comprehension.

Tasks 2-4. Sample scenario with three embedded tasks.
In this scenario, students are asked to read three sources: a blog post, the comments section that
follows and an article that is referenced by one of the commenters. The articles and comments all
discuss space exploration now and in the future. Students are asked to answer several questions
that assess different reading processes.
Task 2. Scan and locate (single text).
