The correct answer is option (C) "cause-and-effect. A common way of organizing text is by the cause and effect structure, which is based in explaining the reasons why something happened or the effects of something. This pattern is effective when an argument is build because it helps to illustrate why an opposite view is valid by explaining its effects, which is the main idea of an argument.
Patterns of organization show the relationships between backup details in paragraphs, essays, and chapters. It helps you understand how an author thinks as much as it helps you remember what you read. Also known as Chain of Command or Hierarchical, the organizational pattern that is best used to build an argument is Order of Importance. In this pattern, details are given in a list, but the author indicates which items in the list are more important than others, either from the least important to the most important or from the most to the least important. This is difficult to difference with the cause and effect and sequence text structures. The difference is subtle and must be contingent at times, but usually a consecutive passage explains the steps that occur in a process.
