Praxis 5002 Practice Test Practice Question
Scenario/Extract:
And at eight in the morning he would have his breakfast brought in on a tray by a man-servant; the man-servant would unfold his crimson dressing-gown; he would rip his letters open with his long pointed nails and would extract thick white cards of invitation upon which the engraving stood up roughly from duchesses, countesses, viscountesses, and Honourable Ladies. Then he would wash; then he would eat his toast; then he would read his paper by the bright burning fire of electric coals.
Which of the following best describes the controlling organizational feature of the passage?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The passage is structured in a sequential order, presenting information in a step-by-step manner that guides the reader through a process or series of events. This approach helps clarify the progression of ideas or actions, making it easier to follow.
Option A, general to specific, implies starting with broad concepts before narrowing down, which does not reflect the passage's structure. Option B, specific to general, suggests moving from detailed examples to overarching ideas, also misrepresenting the flow. Option C, spatial order, focuses on physical arrangement or location, which is not applicable here. Thus, the passage's clear, logical sequence defines its organizational feature.
