Answer 1

I can’t pick the correct answer without seeing Passage #1 (or at least paragraph 3). Please paste the paragraph here.

If you want to decide it yourself, here’s a quick checklist to identify each technique:

- Anecdote: contains a brief story about a specific person or incident (names, times, actions) used to illustrate a point. Look for narrative details and a single example.
- Definition: explicitly explains what a term means (phrases like “is defined as,” “refers to,” “means,” or a clear, formal explanation).
- Description: lists characteristics, qualities, or benefits; uses sensory or attribute language rather than a story or steps.
- Sequence of steps: uses chronological or ordered language (first, next, then, finally; step 1, step 2) or gives instructions on how to do something.

Paste the paragraph and I’ll pick the correct choice and explain why.
