5.2 Why should readers consider the title and subtitles when surveying a text?

Readers should consider the title and subtitles when surveying a text because they can provide valuable information about the main topic, themes, and key points of the text. The title can give a reader a general idea of what the text is about and help them decide if it is relevant to their interests or needs. Subtitles can offer more specific details about the contents of the text and help readers gauge the depth and focus of the material. By paying attention to the title and subtitles, readers can quickly assess whether the text is worth reading in its entirety or if it is better suited to their needs.
