After reading the above section, what is the text structure contained within and between paragraphs 7 and 8 that shows the relationship between the ideas presented?
Answer: Correct! Go to question 3.
Answer: Incorrect. The answer is B, Cause and Effect. The heated water boils, which results in steam. The steam then creates vapor and enters the endosperm.
