Read in Daily Life asks for the WHY (purpose), the WHAT (detail), or what's implied. Read each and answer.

What is the main purpose of this notice?

A) To announce that the pool is closing B) To inform members of a gym closure and offer an alternative C) To advertise floor-repair services

Purpose = the message's main action: informing about the closure + giving an alternative (the pool).

A specific detail stated in the text: "Room 12 after 2 p.m. on Thursday."

What can you infer?
