🔍 Understanding Each Text Structure:

Here’s a quick review of what each text structure means:

- a. cause and effect: Explains why something happened (cause) and what resulted from it (effect).
- b. compare and contrast: Highlights similarities and differences between two or more things.
- c. definition or description: Gives details about a concept, object, or idea—its features, characteristics, examples.
- d. narrative: Tells a story; includes characters, setting, plot, etc.
- e. problem-solution: Presents a problem and then discusses possible solutions.
- f. sequence: Organizes information in time order (chronological order).

✔ Matching Process:

Now let’s go through each item in Column A and find its match in Column B.

---

#### 1. Narrates the story/events and sometimes uses the elements of story in doing so
→ This describes telling a story, which is the definition of narrative.
✔ Match: d. narrative

---

#### 2. Shows the problem as well as the solutions or proposed solutions
→ This clearly refers to problem-solution structure.
✔ Match: e. problem-solution

---

#### 3. Reveals or explains the cause of something and its effect/s
→ This is exactly what cause and effect does.
✔ Match: a. cause and effect

---

#### 4. Writes the information in chronological order
→ Chronological order = sequence.
✔ Match: f. sequence

---

#### 5. Writes the features, characteristics, and examples of a concept or objects, maximizing descriptive language
→ This is describing something in detail — that’s definition or description.
✔ Match: c. definition or description

---

#### 6. Outlines the similarities and differences between two or three concepts or objects
→ That’s the definition of compare and contrast.
✔ Match: b. compare and contrast

---

✔ Final Answers:

| Column A | Answer |
|---------|--------|
| 1. Narrates the story/events... | d |
| 2. Shows the problem as well as solutions... | e |
| 3. Reveals or explains the cause... | a |
| 4. Writes the information in chronological order | f |
| 5. Writes the features, characteristics... | c |
| 6. Outlines the similarities and differences... | b |
