Set 9: Text Structure (Intermediate)
Explanation
PASSAGE
Uniforms create a sense of equality along students. They remove the pressure to buy expensive clothes. However, some students feel they limit self-expression.
Which choice best describes the function of the final sentence?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question tests your understanding of how the text is organized. Sentences 1-2 are Pros. Sentence 3 ('However') is a Con (counter-argument). 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:
• "However"
• "limit self-expression"
Why others are wrong: D (Says they limit expression.), A (No store listed.), C (No color.).
