Set 6: Text Structure
Explanation
PASSAGE
Friction opposes motion. While often seen as a hindrance, it is essential. Without friction, we could not walk without slipping, nor could cars stop.
Which choice best describes the logical content?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question tests your understanding of how the text is organized. Definition: Opposes motion. Misconception: Hindrance. Correction: Essential (walk/stop). 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:
• "opposes motion"
• "While often seen as a hindrance"
• "it is essential"
Why others are wrong: B (It's not a failure.), A (Only friction.), C (Argumentative, not just analysis.).
