Question

read the passage. in 1812, war broke out in europe and in north america. in addition to the usual ravages of conflict, this war saw two of the most precious us landmarks damaged. two years into the conflict, in 1814, a british force invaded washington dc, and burned the capitol building and the white house in retaliation for us forces burning york in 1813. which text structure is used in this passage? ∘ sequence ∘ chronological order ∘ description ∘ problem/solution

Explanation:

The passage presents events in the order of their occurrence over time: first the war broke out in 1812, then in 1813 US forces burned York, and in 1814 a British force invaded Washington DC. This follows a chronological order (arranging events by time sequence). Sequence can be more general, but here the key is the time - ordered presentation of historical events. Description focuses on detailing a subject, and problem/solution involves identifying a problem and its solution, which is not the case here.

Answer:

B. chronological order
