True or false. Compare/contrast text structure is signaled by words and phrases such as because of, so that, and as a result?
False.
The compare/contrast text structure is typically signaled by words and phrases such as "similarly," "likewise," "in contrast," "on the other hand," "however," "but," "both," and "although." This type of structure is used when an author wants to show similarities and differences between two or more subjects, ideas, objects, or phenomena.
The words and phrases you mentioned— "because of," "so that," and "as a result"—are more commonly associated with cause and effect text structure. Cause and effect text structure is used to show the relationship between events or concepts, specifically focusing on why something happened (the cause) and what happened as a result (the effect).
