Set 6: Text Structure (Advanced)
Explanation
PASSAGE
Symbiosis is a close relationship between species. In mutualism, both benefit, like bees and flowers. In parasitism, one benefits at the other's expense, like ticks on a dog.
Which choice best describes the structure of the text?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question tests your understanding of how the text is organized. Category: Symbiosis. Sub A: Mutualism. Sub B: Parasitism. 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:
• "Symbiosis is"
• "In mutualism"
• "In parasitism"
Why others are wrong: C (Definition.), A (No time.), D (Classification.).
