Which statement best explains how the structure of a text supports the author's purpose? A. In Dante's vision of the afterlife, sinners go to a place that's organized in concentric circles. In each circle, sinners are punished in ways that directly reflect what they did wrong in life. B.

Instead of writing about lofty subjects such as death, war, and love, William Carlos Williams focuses on a simple wheelbarrow in his poem. By doing so, he places his work in contrast to works of the Romantic poets
