Answer:

B- Topical organization: topical organization means describing the subject of your paper one topic at a time, as Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King do in their essays.

Step-by-step explanation:

The other options are not correct because:

A- Chronological organization: The organization of Poe's essay is logical and clear, while the organization of King's memoir is illogical and confusing.

C- Comparison/ contrast: The conclusion of the Poe excerpt indicates cheerfulness, while the conclusion of the King excerpt indicates anger.

D- Spatial organization: The hook in Poe's essay is its own short paragraph, while the hook in King's memoir appears at the beginning of a long paragraph.
