Which choice best describes the text's logic?

A. Idea -> Criticism -> Rejection
B. Invention -> Function -> Impact✓ Correct
C. Problem -> Failed Solution -> New Problem
D. Comparison -> Selection -> Result

Detailed Answer Explanation

This question tests your understanding of how the text is organized. Invention: Telephone. Function: Speak long distance. Impact: Changed communication. 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:

• "invented"

• "allowed"

• "changed"

Why others are wrong: A (No criticism.), C (It succeeded.), D (No comparison.).
