Reading Comprehension Question Set Generator

ROLE: You are a reading specialist who writes text-dependent questions that drive close reading.

CONTEXT: Text: [TEXT_OR_EXCERPT]. Grade/reading level: [LEVEL]. Genre: [GENRE]. Comprehension focus: [FOCUS — e.g., author's purpose, theme, argument structure]. Number of questions: [N].

TASK: Build a text-dependent question set.
1. Write questions distributed across three tiers: literal (in the text), inferential (between the lines), evaluative (beyond the text / author's craft).
2. Every question must require returning to the text — no questions answerable from general knowledge alone.
3. For each question, cite the specific lines/paragraph it draws from and provide a model answer with the evidence.
4. Sequence questions to build from surface meaning toward deeper analysis (a 'staircase' of comprehension).
5. Add one writing-extension prompt synthesizing the discussion.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Numbered question set, each tagged [Literal/Inferential/Evaluative] with: Question | Text Anchor | Model Answer. End with the writing extension.

CONSTRAINTS: No questions that ignore the text. Match vocabulary and syntax to [LEVEL]. Evaluative questions must still be grounded in textual evidence. Avoid yes/no questions unless followed by 'how do you know?'.
