a big example of a procedural text is like a "how-to" guide, so the answer is A. it's meant to inform you how to do something. B is incorrect because procedural texts don't compare and contrast--like, giving you the how-to then giving you the how-NOT-to? in a procedural text, it's just giving you info. it doesn't usually include characters because it's a list of directions: set the oven to this temperature. remove after this many minutes. let cool. they don't put characters in as an illustration. procedural texts also shouldn't contain logical fallacies bc they're a set of directions, which are supposed to be factual and straightforward; there isn't really any misconceptions
