Answer:

1) A compare and contrast pattern arranges information according to how two or more things are similar to or different from one another (or both).

2) A spatial pattern of organization arranges information according to how things fit together in physical space; i.e., where one thing exists in relation to another.

3) A sequential pattern of organization is similar to a chronological pattern, but arranges information according to a step-by-step sequence that describes a particular process.

4)A chronological pattern of organization arranges information according to a progression of time, either forward or backward

5) A cause and effect pattern is used to show the different causes and effects of various conditions

6) A problem-solution pattern divides information into two main sections, one that describes a problem and one that describes a solution.

7) This pattern is the most commonly used format, and will typically work when the other patterns do not.

Step-by-step explanation:
