When a text is organized around an issue that needs to be resolved, this is known as what kind of structure? Question 6 options:

1) Comparison-Contrast

2) Chronological

3) Description

4) Problem/Solution

5) Cause and Effect

The correct answer is 4.

Problem and solution is a pattern of organization in a text. Here, an information is expressed as a problem or a dilemma and a solution or attempted solution is looked for and presented. This kind of text is frequently confused with a cause and effect type of text. However, the cause and effect text does not provide the solution, that's the difference between these two types of texts.

This kind of text often uses signal words to indicate that information in a passage is ordered in the problem and solution pattern. Such words are: solution, propose, answer, issue, problem, remedy, fix, prevention etc.

The answer is "4". The type of text structure that presents an issue that needs a solution is the Problem/Solution structure.

The pattern in the organization presents a passage where information is expressed as a dilemma or concerning issue and something that can or should be done as a solution to the presented issue.
