Question

planning worksheet for agency essay

• why the world’s climate is changing
• how are we bringing about climate change?
• impact of climate change on forests
• climate change affecting the kyoto protocol
• forestry’s role in mitigating climate change

note: the bulleted list identifies the sub - headings used by an international development agency to plan an essay on the tropical forests and climate change.

based on this list, which is the most effective organizational structure for the essay?

options:
a chronological
b alphabetical order
c pros and cons (partially visible)

Explanation:

The sub - headings are about different aspects of tropical forests and climate change: the reason for climate change, how we bring it about, its impact on forests, its effect on the Kyoto protocol, and forestry's role in mitigation. This is a logical, topical organization (not chronological as there's no time sequence, nor alphabetical as topics aren't ordered by letters). But since the options given are A. chronological, B. alphabetical order, and C (partially visible, likely topical or another type). However, among the given options, if we assume the third option is about a logical/topical order, but since the question asks which of the given (A, B, and the third) is most effective. But the sub - headings don't follow chronological (no time - based order) or alphabetical (topics aren't ordered by their names' letters). Wait, maybe the third option is "pros and cons" or "logical/topical". But based on the visible options, if we have to choose among A, B, and the third (let's assume C is the correct one for logical organization). But maybe the original question's options are different. Wait, the user's image shows options A: chronological, B: alphabetical order, C: pros and cons? No, the C is partially visible. Wait, the essay's sub - headings are about different aspects of the topic (climate change and tropical forests), so a topical (logical) organization is best. But among the given options, if we have to choose, and assuming that the third option (C) is the correct one for a logical/topical structure. But maybe the question's options are mis - presented. Alternatively, maybe the intended answer is that the most effective is not chronological (A) or alphabetical (B), so if C is the correct option (like "logical/topical" or "pros and cons" but more likely logical). But since the user's image has C as "pros and cons"? No, the C is "pros and cons"? Wait, the image shows C as "pros and cons"? No, the text for C is partially visible: "pros and cons". Wait, no, the visible part of C is "pros and cons". But the sub - headings are not about pros and cons. Wait, maybe I misread. The sub - headings are: Why the world’s climate is changing, How are we bringing about climate change?, Impact of climate change on forests, Climate change affecting the Kyoto protocol, Forestry’s role in mitigating climate change. These are different aspects of the topic, so a logical (topical) organization. But among the options A (chronological), B (alphabetical), and C (pros and cons) – no, that doesn't fit. Wait, maybe the third option is "logical order" or "topical order". Given that, and since chronological (A) is about time order (not present here) and alphabetical (B) is about letter order (not present), the most effective is the third option (C, assuming it's logical/topical). But since the user's options are A, B, C with A: chronological, B: alphabetical order, C: pros and cons (maybe not). Wait, maybe the original question has a different set of options. Alternatively, maybe the answer is that the most effective is not A or B, so if C is the correct option (even if my assumption about C is wrong, but based on the sub - headings' nature, chronological and alphabetical are not suitable, so the third option is correct).

Answer:

C. pros and cons (assuming C is the correct option for logical/topical organization, but based on the sub - headings' content, the most effective is a logical/topical structure, which would be option C if it represents that; if C is "pros and cons", there's a mismatch, but likely a mis - label and C is the correct one for logical organization)
