Answer:

A. The author sets up a hierarchical structure of information using two sizes of bullet points.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to a different source, this is the passage that this question refers to:

Study this excerpt from "How to Prepare for a Road Trip".

You wouldn't try running a race without checking your shoelaces and eating a good meal; the same goes for your car on a long trip.

* Take your car in for a tune-up. Be sure the oil has been changed and the tires is in good condition, you have a jack, and you know how to change a tire.

* Pack an emergency car kit that contains:

  • Jumper cables
  • A flashlight
  • A socket wrench for changing a tire
  • Extra oil if your car is old
  • Flares

In this text, the author provides two different sets of lists. The first set outlines the main actions that you need to take in order to prepare for a road trip. The second list tells the reader what he should pack in his emergency car kit. The author distinguishes between the two lists by organizing them in a hierarchical structure of information using two sizes of bullet points. This also allows the reader to better understand how each section connects to the rest of the text.
