In what sense is reading called "a psycholinguistic guessing game"? Explain. How is one 'selective" in reading? What are the four levels of comprehension? Mention any two interpretive abilities with examples.

Reading, in the context of English Communication Skills, is often described as "a psycholinguistic guessing game" because it involves both the psychological process of interpreting symbols and the linguistic process of decoding language. When we read, we do not process every word in a linear, mechanical way; instead, we make predictions and form hypotheses based on context, prior knowledge, and understanding of language patterns. This dynamic and interactive nature of reading is what makes it a "guessing game," where readers continuously anticipate meaning and confirm or revise their understanding as they read.

For instance, while reading a passage, a reader may not need to focus on every single word. Instead, they can predict the meaning of an unfamiliar word based on the sentence structure, surrounding words, or the topic under discussion. ______ __________ _____ _____ _________ _______.
