Answer 2

The structure of the passage affects its meaning in the following way:

B) it shows that all of the steps are of equal importance.

The main verbs in the sentences are in the imperative mood, used to express commands or instructions (the latter applies to the sentences in the passage). Because of the use of the imperative mood when talking about all steps, they can be considered as being of equal importance, since it is imperative (necessary, urgent, peremptory) to perform them all, with no exceptions.
