Which best identifies a defining characteristic of a procedural text?
a. its purpose is to inform
b. it always uses the compare and contrast text structure
c. it includes characters
d. it contains logical fallacies

A big example of a procedural text is like a "how-to" guide, so the answer is A. it's meant to inform you how to do something. B is incorrect because procedural texts don't compare and contrast--like, giving you the how-to then giving you the how-NOT-to? in a procedural text, it's just giving you info. it doesn't usually include characters because it's a list of directions: set the oven to this temperature. remove after this many minutes. let cool. they don't put characters in as an illustration. procedural texts also shouldn't contain logical fallacies bc they're a set of directions, which are supposed to be factual and straightforward; there isn't really any misconceptions

Hello there!

I am most certian that the answer is A
