Structural errors in writing primarily affect what?

• A. The factual accuracy.
• B. The clarity and coherence.
• C. The author's intent.
• D. The font size.

Answer: (B)

Structural errors in writing primarily affect how clearly ideas are presented and how well the text holds together. When sentences or paragraphs are poorly organized, or transitions are missing, the reader struggles to see how points connect, making the message hard to follow even if the information itself is correct. Factual accuracy is about whether the statements are true, not how they’re arranged, and the author’s intent is about what the writer means to convey rather than how it’s structured. Font size is unrelated to the flow and organization of ideas. So, the main impact of structural errors is on clarity and coherence.
