Which statement describes what happens when characters apply careful reading to a puzzle?

• A. It has no effect on progress.
• B. It misleads them away from the solution.
• C. It unlocks hidden pathways.
• D. It causes confusion and delays.

Answer: (C)

When characters read carefully, they notice exact wording, patterns, and subtle clues tucked into the puzzle. Those details can point to secret doors, codes, or the next steps that aren’t obvious at first glance. By taking the time to interpret what the text is really saying, they uncover hidden pathways and move forward in the solution. Rushing or missing details tends to stall progress, while careful reading turns tricky wording into concrete discoveries.
