🔍 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 a
description of something—defining or describing it in detail.
✔ Match:
c. definition or description
---
#### 6. Outlines the similarities and differences between two or three concepts or objects
→ That’s the purpose of
compare and contrast.
✔ Match:
b. compare and contrast
---
✔ Final Answers:
| Column A | Answer |
|---------|--------|
| 1 | d |
| 2 | e |
