When applying an understanding of syntax to complex texts, a reader should pay attention to:
**4) sentence length and structure.**
Analyzing sentence length and structure helps readers understand the rhythm, pacing, and emphasis of a text, which can reveal deeper meanings and the author’s intent. While the other options can also be important in understanding a text, syntax specifically refers to the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences, making the study of sentence length and structure especially pertinent.
