• (B) differentiate between opinions that are substantiated and unsubstantiated in the text;

• (C) make subtle inferences and draw complex conclusions about the ideas in text and their organizational patterns; and

• (D) synthesize and make logical connections between ideas and details in several texts selected to reflect a range of viewpoints on the same topic and support those findings with textual evidence.
