1. Chronological order arranges events ____ they occurred.

A. as

B. when

Chronological order follows a timeline. 'As' indicates the simultaneous occurrence of events.. Words like 'when' and 'since' can indicate time, but not the precise sequential order implied by chronological structure.

2. Which organizational structure best suits a recipe?

A. Compare and Contrast

B. Chronological Order

C. Spatial Order

D. Problem-Solution

Recipes follow a step-by-step process, making chronological order the most suitable structure.. Other structures might be used in conjunction, but the primary organization is chronological.

3. In a compare and contrast essay, similarities are often presented using words like 'similarly' ____ or 'likewise'.

A. also

B. although

C. however

'Also' and 'likewise' emphasize similarities, while 'although' and 'however' introduce differences or contrasts.. Understanding transition words is key to effective compare and contrast writing.

4. A travel blog describing a city's landmarks, starting from the north and moving south, uses which organizational structure?

A. Chronological Order

B. Spatial Order

C. Cause and Effect

D. General to Specific

Spatial order arranges information based on physical location or position.. The description moves through the city geographically, indicating spatial organization.

5. Problem-solution essays typically begin by outlining a problem ____ propose a solution.

A. then

B. because

C. although

The sequence is crucial in problem-solution essays: problem first, then the solution.. Other conjunctions don't convey the sequential nature of this structure.
