D. Skipping titles, subtitles, and information in graphs, or captions so he can focus only on reading the passage .

Explanation:

If Jamal is to read a story of some culture that he's not familiar with, he would need to read the footnotes in the text. They will provide clues about the cultural context of the story. He can also look for any background information on the culture as he reviews the introductory material in his textbook. Asking questions, looking for answers can also be done before he actually proceeds with the actual reading of the text. All these efforts will be able to impart some information for the better understanding of the cultural background of the people and their history. But, if he skips the titles, subtitles and information in graphs or captions that may be provided, and he focus only on reading the passage, it will not be helpful for him in his understanding of the text.
