It can be said that Activity 1 can be described by all of the explanations below EXCEPT

a) a pointless exercise for any purpose in an EFL reading class due to the fact that the words in the text are not English but invented words that mean nothing.
b) a reading assignment that shows students that it is possible to answer all of the comprehension questions without recognizing most of the words in a text.
c) an unsuitable exercise in testing reading comprehension because it does not reflect if the students have really understood the main information in the text.
d) an illustrative case of an activity in which students will not have much difficulty in answering the questions, though they will not provide proof of effective reading.
e) an inadequate task to evaluate reading skills since one can answer the questions by reproducing the information in the passage and not show understanding of the ideas embedded in the text.
