Question

benefits of renewable energy
renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, offer many benefits. these energy sources are sustainable and do not deplete natural resources. they also produce little to no greenhouse gas, so they are good for the environment. on the other hand, fossil fuels are limited and contribute to air pollution and climate change.
read the text. what type of organizational structure is used?
○ chronological order
● cause and effect
○ pro and con
○ compare and contrast

Explanation:

The text first states renewable energy sources (the cause) then lists their positive outcomes (effects: sustainable, low greenhouse gas, environmental benefit). It also contrasts with fossil fuels to emphasize the effects of choosing non-renewable sources, aligning with cause-and-effect structure. Chronological order focuses on time sequence, pro/con would balance positives and negatives of one topic, and compare/contrast would draw direct parallel comparisons between two subjects (here the contrast is secondary to highlighting effects of renewable energy).

Answer:

cause and effect
