I have the answer to only part one... sorry: The term "text structure" refers to how information is organized in a passage. In other words, text structure is various patterns of organization. The structure of a text can change many times in work and even within a paragraph. Most of the time, understanding text structures can help people make and interpret arguments. Some examples of text structure are; cause and effect, chronological, compare and contrast, order of importance, problem and solution, sequence writing, and descriptive writing.
