D.

Answer 1

organization B should be it

Answer 2

The correct option is B: ORGANIZATION

Step-by-step explanation:

Before thinking about the options that have been given to us we have to remember that most texts share some features, between them there are:

• They have a main topic, which implies that all the paragraphs are made thinking in a principal theme. As a part of the text, they can appear some arguments, personal ideas, facts, references and etcetera.

• They commonly have a specific structure, which means that they can be divided in:

1. Introduction: Here you can find the purposes of the text and the reasons why it is mad
2. Body: Here you can find all the ideas, hard data and arguments of the text (if the text it’s literary here we can find the problem too)
3. Conclusions: Here you can find the final thoughts, who arise from all the analysis that has been made. This is, as a final part of the text, the place where all the ideas need to be adequately closed.

• They take ideas and arguments from other authors in the form of a reference. Have bibliography as a part of a text provides it more credibility.

Now that we know three features that most of the texts have we can think in the different types of texts that exist:

1. Narrative texts

2. Descriptive texts

3. Argumentative texts

4. Expositive texts

5. Scientific texts

Finally, the answer that we have to answer is option B: ORGANIZATION because, as we have seen, every kind of text has its features, so knowing it everything will be easier for us at the moment of understanding it. Option A: SUBHEADINGS cannot be the correct one because, in some way, the presence or absence of subheadings responds to the structure organization and its respective theme, but in a restrictive way. Option C: ANNOTATION is not the one because annotations are just a minimum part of the text that adds extra information, so they are not strictly related to the main topic; and finally option D: SYNTHESIS is wrong because not all the texts types have a synthesis part, as we saw, it depends on the kind of text that we have and the purposes that it follows.
