Set 7: Text Structure (Intermediate)
Explanation
PASSAGE
The narrative oscillates between past and present, weaving memory into current action. This temporal fluidity mimics the way trauma persists, refusing to stay buried in history.
Which choice best explains the connection between structure and psychology?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question tests your understanding of how the text is organized. Structure: Oscillates/Fluidity. Psychology: Trauma persists/Refuses to stay buried. Connection: Intrusive nature. 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:
• "mimics"
• "trauma persists"
Why others are wrong: C (No judgment.), A (No sci-fi.), B (Intentional choice.).
