Answer:

B. Intellectual, literary, linguistic, and recreational

• There are four objectives for extensive reading according to Thompson and Wyatt. These are intellectual, literary, linguistic and recreational (ബൗദ്ധികവും സാഹിത്യപരവും ഭാഷാപരവും വിനോദപരവും).
• According to Thompson and Wyatt, The main purpose of extensive reading is the cultivation of a taste for reading (വായനയോടുള്ള അഭിരുചിയും) and it seeks by encouraging the habit of visualizing what is read (വായിക്കുന്നതിനെ ദൃശ്യവൽക്കരിക്കുന്ന ശീലം പ്രോത്സാഹിപ്പിക്കുന്നു) to make reading a form visual instruction.
