Question

1. what is the structure of this sentence? because plants could not receive sun, many would have died, so large plant eaters, or herbivores, would not have had enough food to eat. as a result, these animals would have died. cause and effect chronological order compare and contrast

Explanation:

The sentence uses signal phrases like "Because" and "As a result" to link a root cause (plants lacking sun) to a chain of resulting outcomes: plants dying, herbivores losing food, herbivores dying. This directly follows a cause-and-effect structure, not chronological sequence (no time-based order) or comparison (no contrasting items).

Answer:

cause and effect
