I need help asap i’ll give brainliest What is the main reason for asking yourself what you agree and disagree with in a text?

A. It helps you to prepare to challenge the author’s claim.
B. It helps you prepare to qualify the author’s claim.
C. It helps you prepare to establish the strengths of the text.
D. It helps you to prepare to defend the author’s claim.

The main reason for asking yourself what you agree and disagree with in a text is that it helps you prepare to qualify the author's claim (C). In other words, by asking yourself what you believe about a text you read, you start the process of evaluating the text, because you assess the author's opinions comparing and contrasting them to yours.

Answers A and B, are both complementary so you cannot choose just one of them. In order to be correct they have to be combined, because by asking yourself what you agree or disagree with in a text you may choose to defend some of the author's claims while challenging others.  Also, answer D is wrong because deciding which of the ideas you agree or disagree with is not related to the strengths of the text. You may disagree with an author's claim but this doesn't mean that it wasn't supported well by him/her. So, this could not be considered a weak point of the text.

claim 2: "wherefore, since nothing but blows will do, for god’s sake, let us come to a final separation, and not leave the next generation to be cutting throats, under the violated unmeaning names of parent and child."
