Which internal text structure uses words like refers to, thus?

• A. Cause and Effect
• B. Concept/Definition
• C. Enumeration
• D. Symbolism

Answer: (B)

Identifying a concept/definition text structure. In this structure, the writer introduces a term and then explains what it means, often by spelling out its properties or giving clarifying details. Phrases like refers to show what a term designates, and thus signals that the sentences are defining or explaining the term rather than telling a cause, listing items, or discussing symbols. So you’ll see the term defined or clarified through direct explanation, examples, or restatement of its meaning. This approach would contrast with cause-and-effect (which uses because, as a result), enumeration (which signals a list), or symbolism (which involves figurative meaning).
