Question

an author is writing a text discussing technology and inventions from a hundred years ago and technology and inventions from today. what kind of structure would the author most likely use?

• compare and contrast
• problem and solution
• chronological
• descriptive

Explanation:

The author is comparing technology/inventions from a hundred years ago with those of today. A compare - and - contrast structure is used to examine the similarities and differences between two or more subjects. The "problem and solution" structure focuses on presenting a problem and its solution, which is not the case here. A "chronological" structure arranges information in the order of time, but this is about comparing two time - periods' technologies, not just listing events in time order. A "descriptive" structure is for describing a single subject in detail, not for comparing two. So the most likely structure is compare and contrast.

Answer:

A. Compare and contrast
