a long, long history
there is no way of knowing exactly when or how humans began growing carrots, but people have been eating the vegetable for over 1 000 years. at first, the plants grew wild, and while ancient greeks and romans wrote about gathering them for medicine, they were not considered food. scientists think that people first grew carrots as a food crop sometime before the 900s in the iranian plateau.
from there, traders carried carrots along the ancient silk road that extended to rome and some parts of asia by the 1000s. in the 1100s
read the passage from the power of carrots.
england’s royal air force had an early form of radar, which helped british pilots find these bombers, but they did not want the germans to know about it. therefore, the british government announced their pilots could see the german planes in the dark because they ate a lot of carrots.
which text structure does passage use?
chronological order
comparison and contrast
description
problem and solution

Explanation:

The passage about carrots (in the "A Long History" section) presents events in the order of their occurrence over time: plants growing wild, ancient Greeks and Romans using them for medicine, people growing them as a food crop before the 900s, etc. This follows chronological order, which organizes information by time sequence. The other options (comparison/contrast, description, problem/solution) don't fit as the passage is focused on the timeline of carrot usage and development.

Answer:

chronological order
