Set 9: Text Structure (Advanced)
Explanation
PASSAGE
The plot was a tapestry of woven threads. Subplots crossed and knotted, only to unravel perfectly in the final chapter, revealing the entire picture.
Which choice uses a metaphor to describe the narrative structure?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question tests your understanding of how the text is organized. Tapestry, woven threads, knotted, unravel. All fabric metaphors. 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:
• "tapestry"
• "woven threads"
Why others are wrong: A (No explosion.), C (Picture is revealed, but tapestry is the structure.), D (No chess.).
