Set 6: Text Structure (Advanced)
Explanation
PASSAGE
Volunteering helps the community, but it also helps the volunteer. It gives them a sense of purpose and helps them meet new friends.
Which choice best describes the relationship between the two sentences?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question tests your understanding of how the text is organized. Sentence 1 claims it helps the volunteer. Sentence 2 gives details on HOW it helps (purpose, friends), supporting the claim. Authors structure their writing purposefully to guide readers through their ideas. Identify the organizational pattern (cause-effect, compare-contrast, problem-solution) and how each part contributes to the whole. Authors choose organizational patterns deliberately to enhance their message. Recognizing whether a text uses chronological order, cause-effect, compare-contrast, or problem-solution helps you understand the author's purpose and follow the logic.
Key Evidence:
• "helps the volunteer"
• "gives them a sense of purpose"
Why others are wrong: B (No question asked.), A (They agree.), D (Topics are related.).
