I'm so relieved! I thought I was the only "crazy" person who thought that the only possible answer was "reading is easier" simply because the other answers were so much worse. It is however a wholly unfair question, especially for weaker kids, as it requires a depth of comprehension of "implied" logic that the average 3 or 4 pointer will never be able to handle.
