Question

which statements best describe a text with a problem-and-solution structure? select two options. it describes a chain of events. it identifies an issue to be resolved. it argues against opposing opinions. it contains words such as answer, difficulty, and therefore. it contains words such as similarly and on the other hand.

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• "It describes a chain of events" is for chronological/sequence structure, not problem - solution.
• "It identifies an issue to be resolved" fits as problem - solution texts first identify a problem (issue to resolve).
• "It argues against opposing opinions" is for argumentative texts with counter - arguments, not problem - solution.
• "It contains words such as answer, difficulty, and therefore": "difficulty" relates to the problem, "answer" to the solution, and "therefore" can show the connection between problem and solution, so this fits.
• "It contains words such as similarly and on the other hand": "similarly" is for comparison, "on the other hand" for contrast, not problem - solution.

Answer:

B. It identifies an issue to be resolved, D. It contains words such as answer, difficulty, and therefore
