Fluent readers are able to focus more on __________ because they don't struggle as much with the mechanics of reading.

Characters
Settings
Comprehension
Plot

The correct answer is: Comprehension

Fluent readers are able to focus more on comprehension because they do not struggle with the mechanics of reading. When readers are fluent, they can read quickly, smoothly, and accurately, which allows them to devote more mental energy to understanding the text rather than decoding individual words. Comprehension involves understanding the meaning of the text, making connections, and analyzing the content, all of which are facilitated by fluent reading. Choices A, B, and D (Characters, Settings, Plot) are all components of comprehension and are directly related to the ability to understand and engage with a text. However, the key point in this question is that fluent readers can focus more on comprehension due to their ease with reading mechanics.
