Set 7: Text Structure (Intermediate)
Explanation
PASSAGE
Neuroplasticity challenges the dogma of the static adult brain. We now know that neural pathways are malleable, rewiring themselves in response to experience. This implies that rehabilitation after injury is not merely about compensation, but restructuring.
Which choice best describes the logical implication of the text?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question tests your understanding of how the text is organized. Fact: Plasticity (Malleable). Implication: Rehab is restructuring (shift in paradigm). 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:
• "malleable"
• "implies that rehabilitation ... is restructuring"
Why others are wrong: D (Argues nature of it changed.), C (Directly contradicted.), A (Refutes this dogma.).
