What do you call the way a text is organized, for example in chronological order or cause/effect?

• A. Text structure
• B. Plot
• C. Setting
• D. Mood

Answer: (A)

Text structure is how a text is organized. It refers to the way ideas are arranged to show relationships and guide the reader, with common patterns like chronological order (events in time) and cause/effect (one thing leading to another), as well as problem/solution, description, and compare/contrast. This organization helps readers follow the flow of information and understand how ideas connect.

Plot, setting, and mood describe elements of a story rather than how the information is organized. Plot is the sequence of events in a narrative, setting is where and when the story takes place, and mood is the emotional atmosphere the writer creates.
