Explanation:

Question 1

Headings like "Step 1", "Step 2" organize the text to show a sequential process. Option a is wrong (no salary listing), b is wrong (not about eliminating jobs), c is wrong (no statistics). So d is correct as it's about step - by - step guidance.

Bulleted lists in the context of self - assessment questions or research items are for summarizing key info. Option b is wrong (not random jobs), c is wrong (no historical timeline), d is wrong (no personal stories). So a is correct.

Numbering steps (Step 1 - Step 5) shows a sequential and organized process for career planning. Option a is wrong (not about salaries), b is wrong (not alphabetical or importance order), d is wrong (not about making text interesting). So c is correct.

Answer:

d. They organize the text so the reader can follow the step - by - step guidance
