Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: B)A middle paragraph, which develops details later.
A)The introduction, which presents the topic first.Correct! The introduction presents the topic because the first paragraph names city pollution and announces what the article will discuss.
B)A middle paragraph, which develops details later.The middle paragraph is wrong because it develops details and examples instead of presenting the topic for the first time.
C)The conclusion, which summarises at the end.The conclusion is wrong because it summarises results at the end rather than introducing the pollution topic at the start.
D)Only the title, without any full sentences.The title alone is wrong because a title only labels the text and does not present the topic in full sentences.
💡 Explicación
An introduction opens a text and presents the topic. The middle gives details and the conclusion closes with a summary or final thought.

A)It closes the text with a summary and final message.Correct! It closes with a summary is right because the last paragraph restates that sport helps health and gives a final positive message.
B)It introduces completely new characters and places.The option about listing new characters is wrong because no new people are introduced and the paragraph only restates known ideas.
C)It asks a brand new question for another article.The option about asking a new question is wrong because no fresh question is raised and the text simply closes the argument.
D)It gives detailed bus times for the city centre.The option about giving bus times is wrong because no timetable appears and transport details cannot conclude a sport article.

Pablo is learning to recognise cause and effect structure.
Which short text shows a clear cause and effect organisation?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: C)Cats are quiet while dogs are loud and lively.
💡 Explicación

Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: C)Cats are quiet while dogs are loud and lively.
A)Heavy rain flooded the streets and closed schools.Correct! Heavy rain flooded the streets is cause and effect because rain as cause directly produces flooded streets as a clear result.
B)Morning comes before afternoon and then night arrives.The option about morning and night is wrong because day parts only mark time order and do not link a reason with its result.
C)Cats are quiet while dogs are loud and lively.The option about cats and dogs is wrong because comparing pets shows similarities and differences rather than a causal chain.
D)First wash rice, then boil it for ten minutes.The option about steps to cook rice is wrong because cooking steps show sequence in time rather than a cause producing an effect.

Respuesta correcta: A)City life is noisy while village life is quiet and slow.
A)City life is noisy while village life is quiet and slow.Correct! City life versus village life shows comparison because while and crowded versus quiet directly contrast two places on the same points.
B)Rain flooded the streets because drains were blocked.The option about rain flooding streets is wrong because it presents one causal chain rather than comparing two places side by side.
C)First dig soil, then plant seeds and water them.The option about planting seeds in order is wrong because it lists time steps for one action instead of contrasting two different things.
D)Luis lost his wallet and searched the whole park.The option about a lost wallet story is wrong because a single narrative event cannot compare features of two places systematically.

Respuesta correcta: C)I borrowed two comics about space travel.
💡 Explicación
Logical paragraphs move from general introduction to details to closing. Time markers and pronouns help you chain sentences without jumps.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: C)I borrowed two comics about space travel.
A)We visited the new library yesterday morning.Correct! Starting with the general library visit is right because it introduces the topic before details about books and closing opinion.
B)It was the best day of my whole life.Starting with the closing opinion is wrong because readers meet the final judgment before knowing what library visit is discussed.
C)I borrowed two comics about space travel.Starting with the detail about comics is wrong because a specific example cannot introduce the general visit in a logical opening.
D)The bus left the centre at half past nine.Starting with the bus time is wrong because transport detail is secondary and breaks the natural introduction to detail flow.

Logical paragraphs move from general introduction to details to closing. Time markers and pronouns help you chain sentences without jumps.

Respuesta correcta: D)Waves were tall, blue and very noisy today.
A)Plastic harms beaches, so we need more bins.Correct! Plastic waste harms beaches plus more bins is problem and solution because it pairs a difficulty with a concrete proposed action.
B)A funny day with seagulls stealing our chips.The option about a funny beach story is wrong because amusing events entertain rather than structuring a problem with a solution.
C)Buses to the beach leave every twenty minutes.The option about bus times is wrong because a timetable only informs about transport and contains no problem or proposal.
D)Waves were tall, blue and very noisy today.The option about describing waves is wrong because sensory description paints a scene without proposing any action to fix anything.

💡 Explicación
Headings divide a text into sections with clear subtopics. Good headings match the paragraph main idea and help readers scan quickly.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: B)Football Training on Mondays.
A)Healthy Breakfast Options.Correct! Healthy Breakfast Options matches the paragraph because cereals, fruit and milk are exactly the breakfast foods the section discusses.
B)Football Training on Mondays.The heading about football training is wrong because sport is never mentioned and cannot label a paragraph about morning food.
C)City Bus Timetables for Winter.The heading about bus timetables is wrong because transport times are unrelated to cereals, fruit and milk as foods.
D)An Unforgettable Trip to Rome.The heading about a trip to Rome is wrong because travel to Italy never appears and misses the breakfast subtopic entirely.

Respuesta correcta: C)Finally, which marks the last step.
A)However, which shows a clear contrast.Correct! However shows a contrast because wanting a bike but lacking money opposes desire with an obstacle in the same sentence.
B)Moreover, which adds a similar idea.The word moreover is wrong because it adds a similar idea rather than contrasting desire for a bike with lack of money.
C)Finally, which marks the last step.The word finally is wrong because it marks the last step in a sequence rather than contrasting two opposing facts.
D)For example, which introduces an illustration.The phrase for example is wrong because it introduces an illustration instead of signalling opposition between wish and reality.

A)School lunches should include more vegetables.Correct! School lunches should include more vegetables is the topic sentence because later lines about carrots and salads support that general claim.
B)Carrots were served in the canteen on Tuesday.The sentence about carrots on Tuesday is wrong because it gives one specific example instead of stating the general vegetable claim.
C)Pedro brought a cheese sandwich from home.The sentence about Pedros sandwich is wrong because one boys lunch is a small detail that cannot govern the whole paragraph.
D)Students must wash their hands before eating.The sentence about washing hands is wrong because hygiene is unrelated to vegetables and cannot introduce the nutrition topic.

A)I woke, walked to school and arrived at eight.Correct! Woke, walked, arrived shows time order because the verbs follow the real morning sequence without jumping backwards.
B)I suddenly remembered last summer at the lake.The option about remembering last summer is wrong because recalling a distant memory breaks strict forward time order with a flashback.
C)My teacher is kind, strict and very funny.The option about a summary of qualities is wrong because describing traits gives no ordered events along a timeline.
D)Films are more fun than long television series.The option about general opinions on films is wrong because opinions state views rather than narrating ordered morning actions.

C)A quiet desk helps me concentrate much better.The sentence about a quiet desk is wrong as the odd one because study place details clearly support the homework routine theme.
D)I ask the teacher when I do not understand.The sentence about asking the teacher is wrong as the odd one because seeking help logically belongs to homework habits.

B)Play the game, open the box, then read rules.The order starting with playing is wrong because you cannot play before opening the box and assembling the required parts.
C)Connect power first, then open the sealed box.The order starting with connecting power is wrong because power cannot be connected before parts are taken out and placed.

A)Our city wastes water. For example, my street leaks daily.Correct! Our city wastes water plus one street example is best because it moves from a general problem to a specific illustration logically.
B)Dinosaurs vanished long before modern cities existed.The opening about dinosaurs is wrong because prehistory is irrelevant and cannot narrow down to a present water waste issue.
C)My birthday party had cake, music and many friends.The opening about a birthday party is wrong because celebrations are off topic and give no general problem to narrow down.
