Set 7: Text Structure
Explanation
PASSAGE
Many schools are starting later in the morning. Studies show that teenagers need more sleep than adults. By starting later, schools hope to improve student grades and health.
Which choice best describes the organization of the text?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question tests your understanding of how the text is organized. The text states a change (starting later), gives evidence (need sleep), and explains the goal (improve grades). 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:
• "Many schools are starting later"
• "By starting later, schools hope to"
Why others are wrong: C (It's about policy, not a daily schedule.), B (Sports are not mentioned.), A (It aims to improve school, not end it.).
