Typical Questions

  • "Which choice best describes the overall structure of the text?"
  • "Which choice best describes the function of the underlined sentence in the text as a whole?"

How to Approach

  • Link structure to author's strategy
  • Recognize nested or unexpected structures (e.g., anecdote → counterpoint)
  • Demands seeing the strategy, not just the content

Typical Trap and Quick Fix

  • Only labeling format, not explaining intent
  • Ask: "Why structure it this way?"

Signal Clues

  • Begins general → zoom in; uses setup + counter
