Duolingo: Task 2, Read and Select
Read and Select
Asks you to recognize ‘real’ English words presented in three rows.
Praxis: Just select a ‘real’ word by clicking on it with your mouse’s cursor.

You will probably do 2 or 3 of these tasks, so don’t be concerned if one question has more ‘real words’ than the next question.
For example:
You will have 1:00 minute.

Note*: One of the major assumptions that drives this task is that people can recognize ‘real’ English words if they are well-read. Try to read in as many genres as possible to help expand your vocabulary.
