Structure
Structure questions ask how the passage is organized: problem and solution, claim and support, chronology, comparison, objection and reply.
- Use your five-word paragraph jobs from the first read.
- Line them up in order: "claim, example, objection, reply."
- Pick the choice that describes those steps in that order.
Q. A passage defines a problem, considers two remedies, rejects the first as too costly and the second as impossible, then proposes controlling the problem's effects. The structure is...
Answer a problem, two rejected solutions, and a third approach.
Each step of the choice must match a step of the passage, in order.
- A choice with the right steps in the wrong order is wrong.
- Be wary of choices that mention a "story" or "data" if the passage has none.
