Which of the following is included as text features in informational texts?

• A. Headings
• B. Subheadings
• C. Graphics and captions
• D. All of the above including headings, subheadings, graphics and captions, glossaries, and indexes

Answer: (D)

Informational texts use text features to guide readers and support understanding. These features include headings that signal the main idea of a section, subheadings that break the text into smaller parts, graphics and their captions that visually represent data or concepts and explain what the graphic shows, and glossaries that define key terms. An index helps you locate topics throughout the text. Each of these elements aids navigation, comprehension, and quick reference, so all of the items listed are examples of text features. That’s why the best answer is that all of them are included.
