Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 7.28 Text Structure and Purpose skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Planning a City Heat Action Plan [Executive Summary] A heat action plan outlines how a city will prepare for extreme heat and protect residents. This brief explains a proposal being discussed in Sagebrush. [Comparison] Plans often include sections for warning systems, cooling centers, outreach, and long-term infrastructure changes. TABLE: Reported Outcomes - Before the change: 20% report the issue - After the change: 51% report improvement [Limitations] Organizing actions by time frame—before, during, and after a heat wave—helps readers see responsibilities clearly. The limitations section signals that the author’s purpose is careful evaluation, not a sales pitch. *Footnote: Results come from a pilot program and may change when expanded.

Which change would make the structure clearer while keeping the same main idea?

AGroup related details together and add a heading that names that group, so readers can follow the organization about planning a city heat action plan.

BUse only one long paragraph so the structure is harder to see.

CAdd unrelated details to make the passage longer.

DRemove examples so the text is less clear.

Solution & Explanation:The best revision strengthens organization by clarifying relationships between sections or steps. That makes it easier for readers to follow ideas about planning a city heat action plan and understand the author’s purpose.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Why 'Natural' on Labels Can Mislead [Case Study] At Marston Junior High, a small group tried an approach connected to why 'natural' on labels can mislead. Writers often use examples and fine print to show how a label can suggest more than it promises. [What the results suggest] After 8 weeks, the report shifts into explanation and evidence: A conclusion section can remind readers to check ingredients and sources, not just front- package words. CALL-OUT: Key Terms • stakeholder: a person affected by the decision • pilot: a small test before a big change • limitation: something the data cannot prove [Why include the call-out?] Definitions appear beside the story so readers can follow the ideas without stopping to look up terms.

Which revision would best strengthen the passage’s organization for its purpose?

AAdd unrelated details to make the passage longer.

BUse only one long paragraph so the structure is harder to see.

CGroup related details together and add a heading that names that group, so readers can follow the organization about why 'natural' on labels can mislead.

DRemove examples so the text is less clear.

Solution & Explanation:The best revision strengthens organization by clarifying relationships between sections or steps. That makes it easier for readers to follow ideas about why 'natural' on labels can mislead and understand the author’s purpose.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Protecting Dark Skies for Astronomy: Comparing Two Lenses [Option: More] Articles often explain causes (unshielded lights) and effects (glare, wasted energy) before listing solutions. This lens highlights what improves when the idea is used well. [Option: Balanced] A sidebar with lighting rules can support the main explanation without slowing it down. This lens emphasizes what can go wrong or what must be managed. [Both] Both lenses can be true. The best choice for a reader works best with clear information, which matches why the author organizes the information this way.

What structural change would help readers understand the relationships between ideas most clearly?

ARemove all headings so readers have to read everything to find information about protecting dark skies for astronomy.

BReplace the informative sections with a personal story that does not explain protecting dark skies for astronomy.

CMix the sections in a random order so the passage feels more surprising.

DAdd a short transition sentence between sections to explain how each part connects to protecting dark skies for astronomy.

Solution & Explanation:The best revision strengthens organization by clarifying relationships between sections or steps. That makes it easier for readers to follow ideas about protecting dark skies for astronomy and understand the author’s purpose.
