Question

from a history of the english church and people
which is a potential text structure that authors might use for historical writing?
a. nonlinear order
b. cause - and - effect
c. onomatopoeia style
d. flashback and foreshadow

Explanation:

• Option A: Nonlinear order is not a typical text structure for historical writing as history often follows a chronological or logical sequence related to cause - effect.
• Option B: Cause - and - effect is a common text structure in historical writing. Historians often explain how events (causes) lead to other events (effects), for example, how the fall of the Roman Empire (cause) led to the rise of feudalism (effect).
• Option C: Onomatopoeia is a literary device related to sound - imitating words, not a text structure for historical writing.
• Option D: Flashback and foreshadow are narrative techniques more common in fiction writing rather than historical writing which focuses on factual accounts of past events.

Answer:

B. cause - and - effect
