Set 7: Text Structure (Intermediate)
Explanation
PASSAGE
Quantum entanglement challenges our understanding of locality. If two particles are entangled, a change in one instantly affects the other, regardless of distance. Einstein derided this as 'spooky action at a distance,' yet experiments have repeatedly confirmed it.
Which choice best describes the function of the underlined sentence?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question tests your understanding of how the text is organized. Historical skepticism: Einstein's derision. Disproven: Experiments confirmed it. 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:
• "Einstein derided"
• "yet experiments ... confirmed"
Why others are wrong: B (No math.), C (Refutes locality.), D (It was confirmed.).
