Question

read the text. while there are many chinese restaurants in the united states, the food these restaurants serve is not the same as that served in china. starting with the basics, the service of water differs. in the united states, most restaurants serve cold water with every meal, whether the customers ask for it or not. in china, however, cold water is never served. restaurants in china serve hot water or tea. food ingredients are also not the same. the chinese use ingredients such as pig ears, chicken feet, duck blood, and jellyfish, which most americans arent used to eating. american restaurants, unlike chinese ones, use broccoli, onion, and dairy products in their recipes. finally, fortune cookies, so popular in the u.s., are an american invention not generally available in china. which organizational structure does this text primarily use? cause - effect compare - contrast

Explanation:

The text compares Chinese restaurants in the US with those in China. It looks at differences in water service, food ingredients, and fortune cookies. A compare - contrast structure shows similarities and differences between two or more subjects, which matches how this text presents the differences between Chinese restaurants in the US and in China. A cause - effect structure focuses on why something happens (cause) and its result (effect), which is not what this text does.

Answer:

compare - contrast
