Answer: To convey the central idea of the article, that the effect of one living thing on another depends on if their relationship is harmful or beneficial. The author of "Why Can't We All Get Along?" discusses the importance of symbiotic relationships between living things. He begins by describing not-so-beneficial relationships between living things in which one of them is always fatally injured, then progresses to relationships in which living things living together benefit each other. He highlighted in bold the most relevant terms to underline the explanations he provides for the words, as well as what he wanted his audience to understand. This method of text organization helps in conveying the article's central message on the importance of symbiotic interactions between living things.

Answer:

CommonLit question number 5 of the article "Why Can't We All Get Along?" is "How does the author structure the text to convey the central idea of the article?"

The author gives instances of relationships between living things from most violent to the nicest to convey the central idea of the importance of symbiotic relationships, and highlighted the important terms of the text in bold characters to emphasize the explanation of the terms, which he presented before the terms themselves.

Step-by-step explanation:

In "Why Can't We All Get Along?" the author talks about the importance of symbiotic relationships between living things, he starts off by giving instances of not so beneficial relationships between living things where one of them is always hurt fatally, then gradually moves down to relationships where living things living together benefit each other by that arrangement. He highlighted the most important terms in bold to emphasize the explanation he gives of the terms, and to emphasize what he wanted his audience to understand.

This way of structuring the text helps convey the central idea of the importance of symbiotic relationships between living things that the article conveys.
