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.

Answer 1

It describes a chain of events.

It identifies an issue to be resolved.

Step-by-step explanation:

think of any moral story or childhood bedtime story. Every story that has a problem did not just start with the problem. There were a series of events that led up to the problem and a series of events that led to the solution. Also, of course, every problem has a solution so a text with a problem-and-solution structure identifies an issue to be resolved.

I hope this makes sense :)

Answer 2

The statements that best describe a text with a problem-and-solution structure are:

B. It identifies an issue to be resolved.

D. It contains words such as answer, difficulty, and therefore.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the name suggests, a problem-and-solution text first presents a problem and its causes and then introduces the author's believed solution(s) to correct that problem.

A text with this type of structure will begin by identifying an issue that must be resolved, that is, the problem. Once it is laid out, the author will explain the problem's causes and the possible answers for it. It is very likely that the word "answer" itself will appear in the text, as well as "difficulty" and "therefore". Those words are common in texts such as these. "Difficulty" may be related to the problem itself or to the implementation of the solution. "Therefore" may introduce a solution or the conclusion of the whole text.
