Which option best names the framework that organizes content by listing causes and effects?

• A. Text structure
• B. Theme
• C. Protagonist
• D. Meter

Answer: (A)

The main concept is text structure, focusing on cause-and-effect organization. A cause-and-effect framework presents events or conditions and then shows what results from them, helping readers see how one thing leads to another and understand the sequence of outcomes. This pattern is a way of organizing information that makes relationships clear, guiding the reader through reasons and consequences. The term that names this broad way of arranging content is text structure, with cause-and-effect as a specific type within that framework. The other terms don’t fit: theme is the underlying message, the protagonist is the main character, and meter refers to rhythm in poetry.
