Set 9: Text Structure
Explanation
PASSAGE
Sarah loved the peaceful silence of the library. It was her refuge from the noisy city. Here, she could travel to any world she wanted through the pages of a book.
Which choice best describes the setting's effect on the character?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question tests your understanding of how the text is organized. Words like 'loved', 'peaceful', 'refuge' show comfort and escape. 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:
• "loved"
• "refuge"
• "travel ... through a book"
Why others are wrong: C (She loved the silence.), A (She loved it.), D (Job not mentioned.).
