The term "semantic mapping" is best defined as:

  1. A reciprocal questioning strategy

  2. A meaningful linguistic unit

  3. A strategy that shows readers and writers how to organize important information

  4. The underlying structure and relationships in a story

The correct answer is: A strategy that shows readers and writers how to organize important information

Semantic mapping is a specific strategy used to organize important information for both readers and writers. It is not a reciprocal questioning strategy (A), which involves back and forth questioning. It also does not refer to a single meaningful linguistic unit (B), as it involves multiple pieces of important information. Additionally, while it does involve the underlying structure and relationships in a story (D), this is not the best definition for the term "semantic mapping." Therefore, the most accurate option is C.
