How does the knowledge that a text is written in sequential order increase comprehension? The reader can easily picture the subj
ect of the text in his or her mind. The reader knows that each point is of equal value in the text. The reader knows which part of the text to focus upon. The reader knows to follow a series of steps in order.
The correct answer is C "the reader knows which part of the texf to focus upon". While reading, the sequential order helps the reader to prepare for what is coming next. In thst way, he/she can predict what kind of information is going to presented, be prepared for vocabulary and content that is likely to come up, and follow a logical reasoning sequence. In that way, by using either consciously or not those strategies, the reader increases comprehension.
An independent clause is a phrase that can stand on its own as a sentence. "I don't like snakes" has a subject, verb, and noun; therefore it is a complete sentence. None of the other answer choices are complete sentences; they are dependent clauses.
