Text Structures are also called...

• A. Glossary
• B. Index
• C. Diagram
• D. Organizational Patterns

Answer: (D)

Text structures describe how information is organized in a passage, shaping how ideas are connected and presented. When we talk about the plan or pattern a writer uses to arrange ideas, we’re talking about organizational patterns. That’s why this answer is the best: it names the overall arrangement guiding the text, including common patterns like cause and effect, sequence, or compare–contrast. Glossary, index, and diagram serve different purposes—glossaries define terms, indexes help you locate topics, and diagrams are visual representations—so they aren’t the ways a text’s ideas are structured.
