Which statement is true about text structure?

• A. Text structure cannot help readers understand the author's intent.
• B. All passages are written in a strict linear order.
• C. Structure never affects how readers interpret text.
• D. Not all passages are written in logical structure.

Answer: (D)

Text structure is about how an author organizes information to guide understanding. Some passages follow clear, logical patterns—like cause-and-effect, problem-solution, or compare-and-contrast. But many texts don’t use a single, strict structure; they may move in time non-linearly, weave multiple patterns, or present ideas in a more fragmented way to serve the purpose of the piece. Because of this variety, not all passages are written in a strictly logical structure.

That helps explain why the other statements aren’t true: structure often helps readers see the author’s purpose and what to focus on; not every text is strictly linear; and the organization of ideas can influence how readers interpret meaning.
