Discussion
Assertion (A) : When unable to 'make meaning', efficient readers slow down and reread the text clarifying confusion before continuing further.
Reason (R) : Metacognition hinders the process of meaning-making.
Answer: A
(A) is true, but (R) is false.
The assertion describes good reading practice: when comprehension breaks down, skilled readers notice it, slow down and reread to clear the confusion before going on.
That noticing and fixing is itself metacognition, thinking about one's own thinking. Monitoring one's understanding and choosing a repair strategy is exactly what helps meaning-making. So the reason, which says metacognition hinders meaning-making, is false, and the options calling both statements true, or both false, are wrong.
