Question

marissas teacher asked her to write an essay that includes facts about how garbage has polluted the pacific ocean. which organizational structure would best serve marissas purpose? comparison and contrast, description, cause and effect, problem and solution

Explanation:

Marissa needs to write about how garbage has polluted the Pacific Ocean. The "cause and effect" structure is suitable as it focuses on explaining how a cause (garbage) leads to an effect (pollution of the Pacific Ocean), which matches her purpose of detailing the pollution caused by garbage. Comparison and contrast is for comparing items, description is for detailing a subject (not causal), and problem and solution focuses on solving, not just explaining the pollution's cause - effect.

Answer:

cause and effect
