Contextual challenges are avoided when you know about the author, time period, or subject matter to be able to understand what you are reading.

True.

Explanation:

A contextual challenge is a problem given to students, which must be researched and debated in order to reach a solution. These challenges serve to assess the students' ability to analyze contexts, phrases, paragraphs, and other media, to the point of being able to use them to solve problems of different intensities. In this case, in order for the students' ability to solve the challenges to be really analyzed, it is important to avoid authors, time periods and subjects with which the students are familiar, because this would facilitate the process of analysis and reasoning.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
