Question

read the text.
a blacksmith makes objects such as tools, decorative items, horseshoes, and weapons from iron or steel. before working with the metal, the blacksmith will first heat it. to do this, he or she places it in a fire or furnace, often holding it with tongs until it turns red hot. then the metal is ready to work, and the blacksmith can hammer it flat, bend it, or twist it. as soon as the object is shaped just right, the blacksmith plunges it into a container of water. this quenches the metal, solidifying it quickly and hardening it.
which organizational structure does this text primarily use?
problem - solution
sequential

Explanation:

The text describes the step-by-step process a blacksmith follows to shape metal, using transition words like "Before", "Then", "As soon as" to show a chronological order of actions, which matches sequential organizational structure. It does not present a problem and corresponding solution.

sequential
