Question

What is the answer?

I think the answer is B. order of importance.. but I'm between answer choice A or B

Answer 1

B - order of importance

Explanation:

The paragraph is in ascending order of importance. It starts with the basic information that airways carry air to the lungs. It then goes on to describe what happens to air during an 'episode' or attack.

A cause and effect paragraph would have a structure for every 2 sentences; a topic sentence, and a supporting sentence. This does not necessarily correlate; take, for example, the last two sentences, where description of additional clogging is followed by more of the general information of the attack.

A comparison and contrast paragraph would have a sense of balance between 2 different viewpoints or events. This only describes a course of events, and so there is nothing to balance between.

A problem and solution paragraph would first have the problem outlined, then go on to describe possible solutions, and, finally, a recommendation by the writer of which solution (if there is more than one) is best. Here, no solution or even prevention of an attack is discussed, and there is no evidence of input from the writer themselves.
