Which statement describes the relationship between text structures and organizational patterns?

• A. They are different terms for separate concepts.
• B. They refer to page layout only.
• C. They are the same concept described with different terms.
• D. They are unrelated concepts.

Answer: (C)

They describe how ideas are arranged in a text to convey meaning, and organizational patterns are simply another way of naming that same arrangement. Whether you call it cause/effect, compare/contrast, sequence, or description, the focus is on how information is connected and presented to guide the reader’s understanding. Page layout is not what’s being described here, and these terms aren’t two separate concepts; they’re different labels for the same idea of internal text organization.
