What does academic literacy include?

  1. Communicating effectively in social situations

  2. Conducting scientific experiments

  3. Knowledge and skills for academic communication

  4. Understanding popular culture references

The correct answer is: Knowledge and skills for academic communication

Academic literacy includes knowledge and skills for academic communication, not just general social communication. Option A is incorrect because while communication skills may overlap, social situations typically require a different set of skills than academic situations. Option B is incorrect because conducting scientific experiments is a specific subset of academic skills, whereas academic literacy encompasses a broader range of skills. Option D is incorrect as understanding popular culture references may be relevant for social communication but not necessarily for academic communication. Thus, option C is the most accurate and complete answer.
