How can headings and subheadings help you locate information quickly?

• A. Headings group unrelated ideas.
• B. Headings are decorative and do not help locate information.
• C. Headings indicate topics, organize the text, and guide you to sections.
• D. Headings appear only at the end of a section.

Answer: (C)

Headings and subheadings act as signposts that show what each part of the text is about, organize the material into topics, and guide you to the right sections. By glancing at a heading, you can tell whether the upcoming section covers the information you need, and you can skim directly to the parts that match your question. Subheadings break those topics into smaller parts, so you can find specific details without reading everything. This makes reading more efficient, especially when you’re searching for a particular idea or answer. They aren’t decorative or meant to group unrelated ideas, and they aren’t just at the end of a section—their job is to label and organize what follows right at the start of each section.
