The correct answer is impossible.

The word "passive" itself means not responding to anything, but instead accepting whatever comes your way. Specifically in regard to reading, a passive reader simply reads the words and does not question or think about what they are actually reading. Since they are not registering the content of the text, it would be impossible to understand the full meaning of short fiction.
