Question

Consider this procedural text.

Before you inflate your car's tires with air, you will need to know the recommended pressure for
your tires. To find out this information, consult the owner's manual for your car. Then connect a
tire gauge on the valve stem of each tire to check the air pressure. After you turn on the air
pump, attach the pump hose to the valve stem of each tire to allow air to flow inside.
Depending on the type of pump, you will more than likely need to squeeze a trigger on the
hose to release the air. Periodically check the pressure on each tire after filling with a small
amount of air to ensure that you aren't putting too much air in your tire. Doing so could damage
your fire. If there is too much air in a tire, squeeze the button on the valve stem to release the
excess air until your tires are inflated at the correct pressure.
a. Briefly describe the subject of this procedural text. If someone follows this procedure, what will
he or she accomplish?

Answer 1

Answer: The subject of the text is inflating car tires. If someone follows the procedure he/she will correctly put air in car tires and keep the ideal pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

A procedural text provides steps or instructions to complete a process, for example, a recipe is a procedural text that helps readers cook something. Additionally, the subject is the topic the text covers, which is explained or supported through the steps or the procedure described. In the case of the text presented, this describes the steps to put air on car tires or inflating them. This is explained through details such as "you will need to know the recommended pressure" or "Then connect a tire gauge on the valve stem". According to this, the subject is inflating car tires because this is the topic the text covers.

Besides this, it is expected that if someone follows the steps he or she will inflate tires appropriately and will keep an ideal pressure in the tires, which is supported by details such as "release the excess air until your tires are inflated at the correct pressure" that shows the author wants to make sure the reader checks the pressure, and verify this is appropriate all the time.
