Plz help me What text structure is this? It was the most beautiful banana split that I had ever seen. In the middle of the bowl,
there were three scoops of ice-cream: chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. On top of the ice-cream were a banana and a thick web of chocolate and caramel sauces. A huge puff of whipped cream covered the sauces and a handful of crushed nuts dappled the whipped cream. On top of it all was a cherry, but I've never liked the soggy squish of cherries. A. Problem and solution B. Compare and contrast C. Sequence D. Descriptive E. Cause and effect
The text structure found in this passage is: D. descriptive.
Explanation:
When an author uses a descriptive text structure, his/her purpose is to create a vivid image of something in readers' minds. In this case, the author wants us to be able to picture how beautiful the banana split was. He/She gives us a detailed illustration of the ingredients, their positions and order, their flavors. Words such as "thick web" and "huge puff" add to the imagery, allowing us to truly see it in our minds, those adjectives supporting our imagination.
