Which visual aid can help with understanding complex information in expository texts?

Graphic organizers
Story elements
Literary allusions
Text narratives

The correct answer is: Graphic organizers

Graphic organizers are particularly effective visual aids for helping readers understand complex information in expository texts because they break down information into more manageable, visual representations. These tools can include charts, diagrams, webs, and matrices that allow readers to see relationships between concepts, organize information logically, and identify key ideas and supporting details. By visually mapping out information, learners can better grasp the structure of the text, synthesize information, and retain the material more effectively. Other options, while related to text comprehension, do not serve the same purpose. Story elements typically focus on narrative structures and character development, which are not central to expository texts. Literary allusions involve referencing other works or historical events, which may enhance understanding but do not provide a direct visual representation of complex information. Text narratives convey information in a narrative style, which might not be as clear for presenting detailed, factual content often found in expository writing.
