Set 9: Text Structure
Explanation
PASSAGE
Light behaves as a wave. It can bend around corners. Surprisingly, it also behaves as a particle. Einstein won a Nobel Prize for explaining this duality.
Which choice best describes the text's progression?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question tests your understanding of how the text is organized. Prop 1: Wave. Prop 2: Particle ('Surprisingly'). Unification: Duality explanation. 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:
• "behaves as a wave"
• "also behaves as a particle"
• "explaining this duality"
Why others are wrong: A (He won a prize for it.), B (No camera.), D (Physics, not tech.).
