This element shows how sections are separated into parts with numbers and titles_____________

Analyze the question: The question asks which element of a literary work divides a text into sections, each labelled with a number and often a title.

Explain the concept: In prose fiction (novels), the story is organized into larger divisions. Let's check each option:

• A. Paragraph: a group of sentences about one idea. It is a small unit within a chapter and is not normally numbered or titled.
• B. Theme: the central idea or message of a work (e.g., love, corruption, betrayal). It is not a structural division.
• C. Chapters: the major divisions of a book. They are usually numbered (Chapter One, Chapter Two) and often carry titles, like "Chapter 1: The Arrival."
• D. Characters: the people in the story. They are not a structural division.

Solution: The clues in the question are "sections," "separated into parts," and "numbers and titles." Only chapters fit this description. Paragraphs are too small and unnumbered, while themes and characters are content elements, not divisions of the text.

Chapters**.

Exam tip: When a question mentions "numbers and titles" or "sections of a book," think chapters (for novels) or acts and scenes (for drama). For poetry, the equivalent is stanzas. Matching the structural term to the genre is a common JAMB Literature trick.
