Most importantly, this is your life, not someone else’s, and it’s your responsibility to live it. Some goals you might not achieve, and some dreams might always remain dreams. But when you look back on your life, wouldn’t you rather have succeeded or failed because of the choices you made, not because of some rude thing someone said? Or would you rather spend the rest of your life wondering what might have happened if you had soldiered on? Living is about the choices we make every moment; it’s our job to make choices that make those moments count. Which answer best identifies a clue that the overall organizational structure of this passage is order of importance?

the fact that it contains two rhetorical questions

the fact that the passage begins with the transitional phrase "most importantly"

the fact that the author recognizes that some dreams will never become reality

the fact that the author urges the reader to not listen to other people

The correct answer is B. The fact that the passage begins with the transitional phrase "most importantly"

Step-by-step explanation:

Order of importance is a common organizational structure used in texts; this organizational structure implies presenting the ideas from most important to less important or vice versa, which varies according to the perspective of the author and topic. Additionally, this organizational structure can be identified due to the use of transitions or expressions such as most important, first/ second/ third, in the first place, etc.

In the case of the passage presented, the section or clue that indicates this is written following order of importance structure is the use of "most importantly" at the beginning of the passage, because this explicitly shows which is the most important idea in the topic and that the passage is organized from the most important to the least important.
