Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 7.36 Text Features and Structures skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Read the excerpt from an article about a global seed exchange network. 'Researchers group seeds by climate needs so farmers in dry regions can find drought-tolerant varieties quickly. The article then traces how a request moves from one seed bank to another, from shipment approval to delivery. A sidebar titled "Questions Researchers Ask" lists things like soil type and rainfall before a request is sent.' How do the structure and feature work together?

AClassification helps readers understand how seeds are grouped, chronology explains the request process, and the sidebar shows what information guides that process.

BThe chronology proves that all seed requests take the same number of days everywhere.

CThe sidebar replaces the need to explain how the exchange network works.

DThe entire article uses only one simple structure and the sidebar adds unrelated trivia.

Solution & Explanation:The excerpt uses classification and chronology for different parts of the explanation, and the sidebar supports the process with key decision details.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

An article about rain gardens has already used these headings: 'Runoff Problems' and 'How Rain Gardens Work.' Which heading would best fit a final section that describes what neighborhoods should do next?

ASteps Communities Can Take

BThree Kinds of Butterflies in Spring

CA Storm From My Grandfather's Childhood

DWhy Mud Is a Funny Word

Solution & Explanation:That heading clearly signals a shift from explanation to action, which fits the article's progression.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A battery-recycling article is currently organized this way: problem of discarded batteries, harmful effects of leaked chemicals, and collection programs that solve the issue. What would be the likely effect of moving the collection-program section to the beginning?

AReaders would gain new data about chemical leaks that was never included.

BReaders would meet the solution before fully understanding the problem it is meant to address.

CReaders would suddenly see a stronger classification structure about battery sizes.

DReaders would no longer be able to tell that the article is nonfiction.

Solution & Explanation:Beginning with the solution would weaken the logic of the explanation because readers would not yet know why the program is needed.
