Ellis Island National Monument Online: Cause-and-Effect Structure

Question 12 • 2026 Summer 305 ELA/ESOL CR_Grade 6

Read the excerpt from "Island of Hope, Island of Tears."After a brief courtship, he and Vida Dixon married and sailed to the United States in 1923.

Answer
A
A cause-and-effect text structure is used to show the relationship between Walter and Vida Hayter.
B
A sequence text structure is used to describe an order of events in Walter and Vida Hayter's life.
C
A compare-and-contrast text structure is used to show how Walter Hayter is different from Vida Hayter.
D
A cause-and-effect text structure is used to explain why Walter and Vida Hayter sailed to the United States.

Explanation

The excerpt presents events in the order they happened: Walter and Vida courted briefly, got married, and then sailed to the United States in 1923. That is a sequence text structure, so choice B is correct. The excerpt does not explain why they traveled, so it does not show cause and effect.
