What does it mean to be literate?

To have a deep fluency in a language
To be able to read and write
To be able to think critically
To be able to recognize patterns

The correct answer is: To be able to read and write

To be literate means to possess the basic skills of reading and writing, as option B correctly states. Option A is incorrect because having a deep fluency in a language goes beyond being able to read and write; it involves a deeper understanding and mastery of the language. Option C is incorrect because while critical thinking is an important skill, it is not the definition of literacy. Option D is incorrect because recognizing patterns is a skill related to logical thinking, but it is not an essential component of being literate.
