Question

planning worksheet for agency essay

• why the world’s climate is changing
• how are we bringing about climate change?
• impact of climate change on forests
• climate change affecting the kyoto protocol
• forestry’s role in mitigating climate change

note: the bulleted list identifies the sub - headings used by an international development agency to plan an essay on the tropical forests and climate change.

based on this list, which is the most effective organizational structure for the essay?

a chronological

b alphabetical order

c pros and cons

d problem and solution

Explanation:

The sub - headings are about why climate is changing, how we cause it, its impact on forests, impact on the Kyoto Protocol, and forestry's role in mitigation. This follows a problem - cause - impact - solution (or related aspects) logical flow, which is similar to a problem and solution organizational structure. Chronological order would be time - based, alphabetical is by letter order, and pros/cons is for weighing advantages and disadvantages, which doesn't fit here.

Answer:

D. problem and solution
