Which category of writing primarily presents facts and may include visuals to aid understanding?

• A. Informational texts
• B. Idioms
• C. Problem-and-solution
• D. Cause and effect

Answer: (A)

Think about what each type of writing is meant to do. The writing category that primarily presents facts and may include visuals to aid understanding is informational texts. These pieces are designed to convey accurate information, explain topics, provide data, definitions, and descriptions, and they often use charts, graphs, maps, or photographs to help readers grasp the material more clearly.

Idioms are about language and meaning beyond the literal words, not about presenting factual information. Problem-and-solution focuses on identifying an issue and proposing ways to address it, while cause and effect explains how one event leads to another. They can include information, but their main aim isn’t to present facts with supportive visuals in a straightforward, informative way.
