Submission:

Footnote each identification. This is very important. I shouldn’t have to look for them myself.
Also, clearly delineate the entire structure by underlining or bolding it. Otherwise, I won’t be able to tell where you think the structure begins and ends. For longer examples, such as “variety,” you may highlight an entire paragraph.
