Question

how does a cause - and - effect text structure build ideas in a text? (1 point)
it tells what happened and why, which can lead to greater understanding about an idea or event.
it uses logic and evidence to support ideas about an event
it describes the causes of something and the effects, and why something must be changed
it tells why something happened and then offers opinions that are supported logically with evidence

Explanation:

A cause-and-effect text structure centers on explaining an occurrence (what happened) and the reasons behind it (why), which clarifies connections and deepens comprehension of the topic. Other options either focus on evidence/support, call for change, or include opinions, which are not core to this structure's primary function.

Answer:

A. It tells what happened and why, which can lead to greater understanding about an idea or event
