Reading Academic Vocabulary Practice Test

What term describes a series of steps that must be taken in order to do something?

Procedure Cause and Effect Homograph Description

Correct Answer:

Procedure

Explanation:

A procedure is a series of steps required to complete a task. It describes the exact order and actions you must follow to do something, like a lab protocol or a recipe. This focus on the “how-to” sequence is what makes it the best fit for describing steps you must take in order to accomplish a task. For contrast, think of the other terms: cause and effect explains why something happens, not the steps to do it; a homograph is a word that looks the same as another but has a different meaning; a description tells you what something is like. Because the prompt is asking for the term that names the sequence of actions to perform, procedure is the precise match.
