Explanation
Extensive reading involves reading large amounts of material, usually for pleasure and general understanding, without focusing on every word or detail. It builds reading fluency, vocabulary, and love of reading. Intensive reading, in contrast, involves detailed analysis of shorter texts (option 1). Reading for facts (option 2) is a specific scanning practice. Extensive reading's hallmark is enjoyment and overall comprehension.
