Read the passage.

I thought both of the movies were really good. They kept my interest and made me laugh. However, I liked the first movie better because the actors did a better job.

Which organizational structure is used?

Compare and contrast because it says something similar between the two and something different between the two.

The correct answer is C. Compare and contrast

Step-by-step explanation:

In texts, information can be organized in different ways or patterns including problem and solution, chronological order, cause and effect, the order of importance and compare and contrast. In the case of compare and contrast organization, this organization aims at describing the differences and similarities between two or more elements of the same category, either by analyzing first elements by separated and then comparing and contrasting them or analyzing, comparing and contrasting the two elements being analyzed. Additionally, this type of organization can be identified as in any case it includes two or more elements whose features are compared.

Considering this, in the case of the passage presented the organizational structure used is "compare and contrast" because in this passage the author provides information about two different movies and finds the common aspects (similarities) and contrasting aspects (differences), which means the author analyzes, compares and contrst to elements of the same category which is exactly the structure followed in compare and contrast texts.
