Which of the following is NOT considered a text feature?

  1. Diagrams

  2. Headings

  3. Summaries

  4. Charts

The correct answer is: Summaries

Summaries are considered a form of content rather than a text feature because they provide an overview or recap of the main ideas within the text rather than serving as a structural element that aids navigation or comprehension. Text features, such as diagrams, headings, and charts, enhance the reader's understanding of the material by organizing information visually or semantically. They help to highlight key concepts, break down complex information, or guide the reader through the text. In contrast, a summary synthesizes information rather than presenting or representing it within the text's framework.
