SKILL 6: ANSWER IMPLIED DETAIL QUESTIONS CORRECTLY
Example
The passage:
The Hawaiian language is a melodious language in which all words are derived from an alphabet of only twelve letters, the five vowels A, E, I, O, U and the seven consonants H, K, L, M, N, P, W. Each syllable in the language ends in a vowel, and two consonants never appear together, so vowels have a much higher frequency in the Hawaiian language than they do in English.
This musical-sounding language can be heard regularly by visitors to the islands. Most Hawaiians speak English, but it is quite common to hear English that is liberally spiced with words and ｅxpressions from the traditional language of the culture. A visitor may be greeted with the ｅxpression aloha, and may be referred to as a malihini because he is a newcomer to the island. This visitor may attend an outside luau where everyone eats too much and be invited afterwards to dance the hula.

1. Which of the following is probably NOT a Hawaiian word?
(A) mahalo
(B) mahimahi
(C) meklea
(D) moana
