Answer 1

1) The correct answer is false because In most cases it is easier to read than talk it because in reading you can take your own time and there is usually no doubt about what word is used. In talking you need an active knowledge of words, their meaning, and pronunciation. That is just a lot more than a passive knowledge required for reading.

2 )The correct answer is  saccades

3 ) After reading some article in internet and some books I think option c) Text on a noisy background

4) The correct option of this question is a) context -free because

The brain’s ability to recognize basic features: lines, edges, angles, etc.—is built in and therefore automatic from birth. In contrast, recognition of morphemes, words, and phrases has to be learned. It starts out as a non-automatic, conscious process requiring conscious analysis of letters, morphemes, and words, but with enough practice it becomes automatic.
