Which statement is true? a. the problem-and-solution organizational structure is used to describe how one event results in another. b. the cause-and-effect organizational structure is used to identify a problem and present a potential solution. c. a list is used when a series of ideas, facts, or details are arranged in a particular order. d. the compare-and-contrast organizational structure is used to examine similarities and differences between two subjects.

The correct answer is D. The compare-and-contrast organizational structure is used to examine similarities and differences between two subjects.

Explanation:

In writing, there are different organizational structures or patterns that can be used for organizing details in texts and each one differs in terms of purpose and organization. In the case of problem-and-solution this presents one problematic situation and then solutions to it; in the case of cause-and-effect this is used to present the events or effects that are caused by another event; in the case of lists this presents details or ideas that do not necessarily have a strict organization and in the case of compare-and-contrast essay this analyzes the differences and similarities between two elements that belong to the same category.

Considering this, the only statement that is correct because it correctly describes one organizational structure is option D because the purpose of the compare-and-contrast is to point out similarities and differences. Also, other options are incorrect because lists do not need to be arranged in a particular order, cause-and-effect does not identify a problem and problem-solution does not describe the results of an event.
