Set 8: Text Structure (Advanced)
Explanation
PASSAGE
The dichotomy between nature and nurture is increasingly viewed as a false equivalent. Epigenetics reveals that environmental factors can alter gene expression, effectively bridging the gap. Thus, biology is not destiny, but rather a script subject to improvisation.
Which choice best describes the function of the final sentence?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question tests your understanding of how the text is organized. Concepts: Biology (Nature) and Environment (Improvisation). Synthesis: Script subject to improvisation. 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:
• "biology is not destiny"
• "script subject to improvisation"
Why others are wrong: B (No list.), C (It relies on them.), A (No definition.).
