• (B) explain whether facts included in an argument are used for or against an issue;

• (C) explain how different organizational patterns (e.g., proposition-and-support, problem-and-solution) develop the main idea and the author's viewpoint; and

• (D) synthesize and make logical connections between ideas within a text and across two or three texts representing similar or different genres.
