Which term refers to the organization or structure of a text?

• A. Chronological or Sequence
• B. Text Structure
• C. Claim
• D. Problem

Answer: (B)

Text structure is about how a text is organized—the pattern in which ideas are arranged and linked, such as events in time, causes and effects, comparing and contrasting, or presenting a problem and its solution. Recognizing the structure helps you follow the writer's plan and see how each part supports the overall message. A chronological or sequence organization is one specific way to arrange information, presenting events or steps in time order; it’s a type of text structure, not the general term. A claim is the main assertion the author makes, a content element rather than its organization. A problem refers to a challenge discussed in the text, usually tied to a problem/solution structure, but again it describes content, not the overall organization. Therefore, the correct term for the organization or structure of a text is text structure.
