Which of these BEST identifies the text elements used in this text? A) heading and italics print
B) pictures and capitalization
C) heading and bold faced print
D) capitalization and underlining

The correct answer is C. Heading and boldfaced print

Explanation:

In texts, there are different elements such as italics, bold letters, pictures, or headings that help the author organize information and highlight important details. In the case of the text presented, there are two main visual elements the author uses. The first element is headings because the use of the phrase "Do you need to lose 30, 50, or even 75 pounds? explains the idea of section 2 and therefore acts as a heading. The second element is the use of boldfaced print or darker letters in the title and heading that help the reader to better navigate the text.
