Set 9: Text Structure
Explanation
PASSAGE
The suffrage movement faced immense opposition. Activists were jailed, mocked, and ignored. Yet, their persistence eventually secured the right to vote for women.
Which choice best describes the narrative arc of the text?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question tests your understanding of how the text is organized. Adversity: Jailed, mocked. Victory: Secured right to vote. 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:
• "immense opposition"
• "Yet, their persistence"
Why others are wrong: B (Success.), A (Just mentioned jailing.), D (Not easy.).
