Explanation:

The prompt asks to describe the sequence of events leading to the main character's fate. Cause and effect organizational pattern is used to explain how events (causes) lead to an outcome (effect, here the horrible fate). Compare and contrast is for showing similarities/differences, definition for explaining what something is, and classification for grouping. So cause and effect fits.
