×<p>This research was aimed: (1) to determine the percentage of each cognitive <span xss=removed>level according to Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy in the reading comprehension </span><span xss=removed>questions of the “Gateway Workbook Level B2 2nd Edition” textbook; and (2) to </span><span xss=removed>identify the reading comprehension proportion questions that classified Higher-</span><span xss=removed>Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) compared to Lower-Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) </span><span xss=removed>as defined by Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy in the reading comprehension questions </span><span xss=removed>of “Gateway Workbook Level B2 2nd Edition” textbook. The data were analyzed </span><span xss=removed>using a content analysis method, where each question was coded based on RBT’s </span><span xss=removed>cognitive domains, organized, simplified, categorized into cognitive levels, and </span><span xss=removed>displayed to observe patterns and draw conclusions accurately. An audit trail was </span><span xss=removed>also used in this research, involving a thorough documentation process that allows </span><span xss=removed>an independent auditor to examine the research process and confirm the accuracy </span><span xss=removed>and consistency of the findings. This study revealed that 1) the distribution of </span><span xss=removed>HOTS as defined in RBT within reading comprehension questions of the textbook </span><span xss=removed>is significantly underrepresented, with only analyzing level while none at </span><span xss=removed>evaluating and creating levels in HOTS reading comprehension questions; 2) the </span><span xss=removed>cognitive levels frequency of reading comprehension questions from the textbook </span><span xss=removed>revealed a substantial imbalance, showing the LOTS at 84.31%, following the </span><span xss=removed>HOTS level at 15.69% only. The findings of this research can be used as a </span><span xss=removed>consideration for EFL teachers in choosing more adequate textbooks for their </span><span xss=removed>students and encourage teachers who utilize the textbook to design complementary </span><span xss=removed>reading activities and questions that promote HOTS.</span></p>
