Set 6: Text Structure (Intermediate)
Explanation
PASSAGE
Photosynthesis turns light into energy. Cellular respiration turns that energy into a usable form. Thus, these two processes are essential and complementary cycles of life.
Which choice best describes the organization of the text?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question tests your understanding of how the text is organized. Process 1 (Photosynthesis) defined. Process 2 (Respiration) defined. Synthesis: They are complementary. 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:
• "Photosynthesis turns..."
• "Cellular respiration turns..."
• "Thus, these two..."
Why others are wrong: A (They are accepted facts.), D (No guide.), C (No preference.).
