What does coherence in writing refer to?

  1. Use of vivid language and imagery

  2. Arrangement of ideas in a logical order

  3. Engaging narration style

  4. Incorporation of personal anecdotes

The correct answer is: Arrangement of ideas in a logical order

Coherence in writing pertains to the arrangement of ideas in a logical order, ensuring that the text flows smoothly and that the reader can easily follow the author's thoughts and arguments. When a piece of writing is coherent, each idea connects well to the others, creating a clear and unified message. Logical organization allows readers to understand the relationships between different points, facilitating comprehension and retention of the information presented. While the other choices—vivid language and imagery, engaging narration style, and personal anecdotes—can enhance writing, they do not inherently define coherence. Those elements may contribute to the overall effectiveness of the writing, but coherence specifically focuses on the clarity and logical progression of ideas. This organization helps guide the reader through the material, making it easier for them to engage with and understand the content.
