Analyze the chronological text structure

Using the Reading Comprehension knowledge point, we identify details showing time order.
The passage lists sequential dates and time transitions:

• "On February 24..."
• "One week later..."
• "On April 6, 1917..."

These specific dates and time markers establish a clear chronological sequence of events.

Analyze the cause-and-effect structure

Using the Reading Comprehension knowledge point, we identify causal relationships.
The passage describes how one event directly triggered another:

• The Zimmermann telegram "would tip the balance in favor of the U.S. joining the Allied forces."
• The publication of the telegram led to the United States declaring war.

Thus, the telegram's release caused the U.S. to join the war.
