which is literacy?
a. The ability to do something well
b. Something free from exaggeration
c. Improving writing skills
d. The ability to read and write
d. The ability to read and write
d. The ability to read and write
The correct answer is d. The ability to read and write.
To arrive at this answer, we can eliminate options a, b, and c by examining their definitions and seeing that they do not match the definition of literacy.
Option a, "The ability to do something well," is a broad definition that could apply to many skills, not just reading and writing. Literacy specifically refers to the ability to read and write.
Option b, "Something free from exaggeration," does not relate to literacy at all. It refers to the concept of truthfulness or accuracy, but not specifically to reading and writing skills.
Option c, "Improving writing skills," is only a partial definition of literacy. While literacy can involve improving writing skills, it is not solely focused on writing. It also involves reading and the ability to understand written text.
Therefore, by the process of elimination, the correct answer is d, "The ability to read and write."
