Setting Big Goals: Text Features and Organization in an Informational Text

Question 1 • *CR Expository Reading and Writing S1 [E4250OX]

Why would an author include an image and caption in an informational text?

Answer

to help fill up the empty space on the page

to include his or her opinion about a picture or graph included

to provide a visual for something that the reader may be unfamiliar with

to make a page filled with text look more interesting

Explanation

An image can show readers what an unfamiliar object, place, or idea looks like, and its caption explains or adds information about the image. The purpose is to help readers understand the informational text, not simply to decorate the page or fill empty space. Choice C, “to provide a visual for something that the reader may be unfamiliar with,” is correct.
