Set 1: Text Structure

Explanation

Answer: A

PASSAGE

Honeybees communicate through a series of movements called the 'waggle dance.' This dance tells other bees where to find food. The longer the dance, the farther away the food source is.

Which choice best describes the function of the second sentence in the overall text?

A. It explains the purpose of the 'waggle dance' mentioned in the first sentence.✓ Correct
B. It argues against the idea that bees can communicate.
C. It describes a different type of dance used by ants.
D. It provides a specific example of food that bees like.

Detailed Explanation

The first sentence introduces the 'waggle dance,' and the second sentence explains what that dance actually does (tells others where food is).

Key Evidence:

• "This dance tells other bees"

Why others are wrong: B (It supports communication, doesn't argue against it.), C (No ants are mentioned.), D (It focuses on location, not the type of food.).
