Which of the following is an example of an “author and you” question about the announcement? a. what time will emergency announcements on the radio begin? b. why would announcements be made over the radio and television? c. other than snowfall, what might be another reason for canceling or delaying school? d. where will announcements about school closures be made?

The correct answer is letter C.

Explanation: To begin with, we must explain that an "author and you" question consists of answering a question using clues from the text as well as your own ideas or experiencies. It cannot be answered directly by looking at the text. In letters A, B and D the answers to those questions are facts so you will find a right answer in the text.  On the other hand, in letter C the answer would be to give a possible reason for canceling or delaying school. You can base your answer on what appears in the text and your previous knowledge. The use of "might" helps you understand that the answer is not going to be a fact that can be found in the text. Instead, you have to give your opinion.
